The Sledge Patrol. [An account of the part played by the North-East Greenland Sledge Patrol in World War II. With plates, including portraits, and maps.]
Greenland 1943: Here, across one of the most desolate regions of earth, a handful of brave Danish and Norwegian hunters carried out one of the most dramatic operations of World War II. Cut off from the rest of the world except for a radio, their wartime assignment was to patrol a stark 500-mile stretch of coast and to protect Greenland's weather stations from German invasion. So vast and barren are these snowbound lands that, unknown to them, a German weather-reporting station had at this time been operating for six months. The shocking realization came on March 11, 1943, when one of the men, to his amazement, found a human footprint in the snow--the print of the enemy. The invaders were numerically superior and better equipped; nothing stood between them and conquest but seven men armed only with hunting rifles."--Back cover.
