About This Novel
"1945: Secret Rescue" is a biographical novel based on real people. At the end of World War II, the German Third Reich was retreating steadily. A large number of prisoners of war and forced laborers from various countries were liberated, but due to various reasons, they were trapped in the ice and snow and unable to return home. Robert Trimble is an American bomber pilot who was "deceived" by his superiors to fly to Poltava, Ukraine, without his knowledge, and was ordered to go to Poland to rescue trapped British and American prisoners of war. Due to the complex international situation and the drastic changes in the European war situation, this rescue work could only be carried out secretly, so Robert launched a secret rescue work in the name of ferrying an emergency landing aircraft - in addition to British and American prisoners of war, he also helped prisoners of war from other countries, hungry and cold refugees, forced laborers hiding in the Polish countryside, etc. In just one and a half months, he helped more than a thousand people return home and retired from the army after completing the mission of commander of the Eastern Front Command. But his story and honor were hidden for 60 years, and it took another 10 years before his son wrote a book and made it public.
