Never Retreat

Memoirs of an Alpine soldier with an extraordinary war record who survived against all the odds. An Olympic athlete, he was present when Adolf Hitler met Jesse Owens, then fought in the brutal Albanian campaign, survived the sinking of a troopship when 1,500 commandos drowned, fought on the Russian front near Stalingrad, witnessed cannibalism in the Gulag, and endured interrogation in the Lubjanka.
