By Jeep to Freedom: Woolf Blint’s Amazing Tale from WWII

• CATEGORIES: Books, Features, Reader Stories This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE 2: This is a hard book to find.

UPDATE: I just finished reading this book.  I was hooked from page 1.  It’s an amazing tale about a man who starts the war in Norway as a Commando whose team is trying to disrupt Nazi attempts to create an Atomic bomb.  Soon, he is fighting in North Africa, where he becomes a POW.  Eventually he escapes and becomes a medic at the Russian front for the Russians as they advance westward.  Some of the details are surprising and unexpected.  While with the Russians he finds a jeep.  Commandeering it, he begins a risky trek westward with a questionable priest. 

Copies of the book can be found:

A running, driving 1952 M38A1 Jeep. It has been restored, but it is an older restoration. It has been a fun around town driver for me for the last year and a half. It is not perfect, but it is a complete, original (as in all the parts are there) jeep. Has a rarer depot rebuilt engine. Leave as, tinker with on the weekends, or do a complete tear down. Still has the 24v electrical system. All fluids changed when I bought it. Tires have age cracking. Have a new set of rubber brake lines.”
