Description

Robert Prouse used to be one among 5000 Canadians who volunteered for the disastrous August 1942 raid on Dieppe. Pinned down as soon as they hit the beach, Prouse used to be one of the vital many Canadians captured that day: they spent the remainder of the war in German prison camps.

In a secret diary, Prouse kept a loyal record of 3 years’ captivity. Drawn from that log, this account offers an unusually honest, accurate picture of captives and captors. Prouse tells of the horrors faced by the ones within the German camps, of his two escape attempts, of courage, bravery, tragedy–and the remarkable spirit of guys trapped in combination under inhuman conditions.

Ticket to Hell is a gruelling account of war and captivity, and of the qualities of the human spirit that endure it.
