In 1942 the young soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The Germans gave it another name, now synonymous with mankind’s darkest hours. They called it Auschwitz. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz. Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners and aided a partisan group planning a mass breakout.

Die Utensilien: Zigarre, Gehrock, die Kollektion seiner Hüte und Zylinder, der rote Morgenmantel. Sein Zeichen: das V-Siegesfingerzeichen. "Wir sind doch alle Würmer. Aber ich glaube, ich bin ein Glühwurm", hat Churchill (1874-1965) in jungen Jahren einmal verkündet. Als Mitglied des englischen Hochadels erhielt er eine militärische Ausbildung.
