The Journey Of Private Galione

About this book

During World War II Mittelbau Dora Concentration Camp housed the most top-secret factory in Germany. Deep in a labyrinth of dark underground caves running through the Harz Mountains emaciated slave laborers from Buchenwald and other camps worked under the lash of brutal Nazi guards struggling to manufacture the worlds first ballistic missile-a weapon for which the world had no defense! By April 9 1945 the prisoners had given up all hope of being rescued. Having no food or water they dragged themselves to the infirmary to die. The Journey of Private Galione is a compelling historical account that reveals how a single soldier on a lone mission: . Found the camp and saved the prisoners . Caused the discovery of Nordhausen Buchenwald and other camps . Beat the Russians to the worlds most advanced missile technology . Changed world history "My God what a book! The story of your family is enthralling . . ." -Yves Ben Dora Survivor and Author of Planet Dora "An amazing story and when I read it to the survivors at our Board of Directors they were touched." -Marie-Claire du Bois daughter of a political prisoner who died at Ellrich and Secretary of the Belgian Association of the Survivors of Camp Dora "In a few more days I would have died.
