Product description...

"Twins Behind Enemy Lines"

A true WWII account of twin brother fighter pilots Delbert and Delmer Forsberg, who along with their crews were shot down behind enemy lines while flying B-24 Liberator Bombers. With the help of Yugoslavian Partisans, Delbert and his crew would make a perilous escape hiking rugged mountains at night and remain hidden during the day, at times being so close to the enemy he could have touched them. Delmer and all but one of his crew would be captured by the Germans becoming Prisoners of War, forcibly marched from Stalag to Stalag often in below freezing conditions. At one point, Hitler would give orders for the prisoners to be marched to their final destination in dead of winter without benefit of shoes or belts to prevent their escape. Always on the verge of starvation, Delmer tells about daily survival inside prison camps and how innovative humans can be in such dire circumstances. Neither twin would know the fate of the other until after the war ended.

Author Information...

Delbert & Delmer ForsbergBorn in 1922, in Stoneboro, Pennsylvania, Delbert and Delmer Forsberg grew up during The Great Depression. Having a strong work ethic, the preteen twins formed a partnership doing odd jobs in their neighborhoods. Living close to an airfield, both also developed an avid interest in aviation. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor both left their daytime jobs and evening college studies to enlist in the US Army Air Corps. Training together they successfully earned their pilot wings. For the first time in their lives, the brothers would be separated when assigned to different Bomber Squadrons. Upon completing their military duties, the twins again formed a partnership, pioneering a successful career in the mobile home and real estate markets. Both currently enjoy retirement. Delbert lives in central Florida while Delmer lives part-time in Beaver Falls, PA and snowbirds to Florida during winter.
