Hello, I had something I wanted to add to this discussion although I'm a bit = late. Many people tend to forget that when Germany attacked Poland on = Sept. 1, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded from the east on Sept. 17th. = Thousands of Poles were sent to labor camps in Siberia. One of those = individuals was Slavomir Rawicz who escaped with six of his companions. = They went south and eventually four of them reached India after about a = year. His ordeal can be read in a book called The Long Walk. It was a = collaborative effort with a British writer, Ronald Downing. Rawicz was living in England at the time and Downing contacted him = because Rawicz and his companions reported seeing the Abomidable Snowman = as they were crossing the Himalayas. When Downing realized that Rawicz = had escaped from a Soviet labor camp, he realized he had a much bigger = story to record. The entire ordeal is an incredible but true story of = survival.
