During Roy’s first month in Stalag Luft IV, a stranger joined him in his daily walk. At the end of their walk, he spoke four words to Roy, before he disappeared around the corner. Four words that changed Roy’s life.
Roy Shenkel survived a German rocket attack on April 7, 1944. He survived a Gestapo interrogation in June 1944. But would he survive the German prisoner of war camps?
Roy had known hard times and hunger, being a child of the Great Depression. But he had never known the brutality and starvation he was experiencing in the Nazi prison camps. He had already seen one prisoner shot by the guards a few days before that stranger visited him. He had never been as close to death as he now was, almost every day.
Experience what it was really like to be a German prisoner during World War II through the eyes of a 20-year-old boy from Kansas.
At the same time, a story of finding faith, hope and strength in harsh conditions. A faith-based parable of how the human spirit can conquer adversity. Something especially important in today’s challenging times.
