World War II was full of turmoil, violence, confusion and appalling conditions for those who were incarcerated in the various concentration camps run by the Germans.

The film score was unnecessarily excessive, and also the film didn’t really seem to be realistic- never heard of two wealthy Jews gunning down the Nazis coming to take them away, as well as one of the diplomats Kung fu-ing the brown shirts. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. They successfully engineered the release and transport of prisoners from concentration camps to a neutral country Sweden. It is because it is a real oddity, a curiosity based on the tiniest thinnest sliver of truth in film history perhaps? The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.

What the rescuers found at the camps was beyond comprehension, with many dead and others so malnourished that they were well on their way to being next. Anyway this is a very odd film - full-on Kung-Fu bruce Lee style at times - Chinese versus the Nazi stormtroopers! No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. At a time when the Nazis were hanging on desperately for survival, and while chaos reigned in Germany, Count Folke Bernadotte, along with the Swedish Red Cross and the Danish government, conducted negotiations with Heinrich Himmler.

The various expeditions to the German concentration camps were long and highly dangerous, with every move watched by the SS and the Gestapo. With no time limit and the ability to pause and restart whenever you want, the game is flexible for your convenience. Lots of fake blood a la Sam Pekinpah and I suspect Tarantino's awful films like the Inglorius Basterds one (I hate his films) were an influence. It IS true that 20,000 Jews fled Europe mainly to Shanghai which had an established Jewish community as it was a very European place with British and French zones (sadly it was also invaded by Japan so many ended up in camps there; watch Empire of the Sun). It is a complex story, full of torturous negotiations with overlapping Nazi agencies, yet it is told with precision and considerable elan by Persson.Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. M Godding Books Ltd is an internet book business running from Wiltshire and sending books all over the world every working day. The story of the White Buses is one of the most extraordinary humanitarian efforts during the Second World War. Each bus was purposefully painted entirely white except for the Red Cross emblem on the side so that they would not be mistaken for military targets. The Swedish Red Cross expedition to the German concentration camps from March to April 1945 was the largest rescue effort inside Germany during WWII.
