Jacques Tardi, René's son, recounts here his father's march back through Germany in 1945, after years of deprivation in Stalag II B, from Hammerstein in present-day Poland to Lille in France. Carefully documented with the father's notes and sketches, as well as extensive on-site research, Jacques Tardi - who inserts himself as a small boy into the story - accompanies his father on the seemingly endless trek with tens of thousands of other prisoners of war from East Prussia to France. A detailed, authentic, and magnificent portrayal of the last year of the war in 1945 in Germany. This is the continuation of "I, René Tardi, Prisoner of War in Stalag IIB," in which Tardi tells the story of his father's captivity.
