On the brink of extinction. The heroic story of the "Count of Auschwitz". By John Castle.
Charles Joseph Coward - known as the Count of Auschwitz - is the man who waged his war against the Germans for five years, constantly on the verge of collapse. He smuggled weapons and explosives to the condemned in German slave camps, organized large-scale sabotage and caused irreparable damage to Nazi military production. From the concentration camp, he sent important information in code to the British War Office and was the first to explain the Germans' secret weapon - the V 1 rocket. His testimony at the Nuremberg war crimes trials enabled 2,000 former prisoners to file a lawsuit against the IG Farben conglomerate, which enslaved prisoners in its chemical factories. On the verge of collapse is the story of one of the most remarkable and daring saboteurs and self-styled spies who took part in the last world war. It is a story of a man who dared to risk everything - and Won! (Cover text).
