Trapped Behind Nazi Lines: The Story of the U.S. Army Air Force 807th Medical Evacuation Squadron by Eric Braun
4.0
During WWII, a squadron of medical personnel from the US army got stranded behind enemy lines. Much research and use of primary source materials make this a well-documented tale, but my understanding is that enough of what happens is filled in by the author that it is considered to be fiction. Lots of suspense, action, and drama. Students who are interested in survival tales (such as Hatchet) will enjoy this book.
I felt like some of the characters were not as well developed as others, but that makes sense knowing the limitations the author was working with in an effort to keep everything as authentic as possible.
