He didn't run for applause. He ran because it was the only way to survive. From the deserts of North Africa to the frozen forests of occupied Europe, Sergeant Reggie Curtis has fought, bled, and endured. Captured by the Germans and imprisoned in a brutal Stalag camp in Poland, he refuses to be broken forcing him to plan his escape which sets him on a desperate journey across enemy territory-chased by the Gestapo's most relentless hunter, SS officer Bleicher. But Reggie is no longer just running for freedom. With his mate Tug at his side and the steel-nerved Resistance fighters guiding them through the shadows, he takes the fight back to the enemy, blowing bridges, sabotaging trains, and striking at the very heart of the Nazi war machine. Every mission is a gamble. Every step could be his last. Yet each act of defiance brings him closer to redemption-and closer to the man determined to destroy him. A powerful new book, Run Reggie Run, published by SE10 Publishing, tells the remarkable true story of a young soldier captured during World War II and his daring determination to escape from a German prisoner-of-war camp. Written by his grandson, the book is a deeply personal account inspired by real events, shedding light on a story that might otherwise have been lost to history. From the battlefields of North Africa with the Desert Rats to the harsh realities of life behind barbed wire, Run Reggie Run captures both the brutality of war and the resilience of the human spirit. Blending historical insight with emotional storytelling, the book offers readers a unique perspective on the untold experiences of ordinary soldiers in extraordinary circumstances.
"This is more than a war story," says the author. "It's about survival, determination, and making sure that stories like my grandfather's are never forgotten and to honour those who never returned to tell there stories
