The worst that would befall him if recaptured, however, was a return to some POW camp. His constant concern was for the welfare of the many selfless Italians who risked their very lives to help him remain free. He had a close call once when he woke from a snooze in the sun on a remote hillside to find a German officer standing over him. As it happened, this man was no rabid Nazi, but an enthusiastic butterfly hunter who had, he said, “no intention of spoiling such a splendid day either for you or for myself.” In August 1942, Newby had been captured by the Germans after a failed bombing raid in Sicily. At one point, he was obliged to walk across a possible minefield At one point, he has taken himself off on a walk on a sunny day. ‘The air was filled with the humming of bees and the buzzing of insects and from somewhere further up the mountain there came the clanking of sheep bells, carried on a gentle breeze that was blowing from that direction.’

More than anything the story he tells is of the generosity of the local Italians who assisted Newby, and other POWs, sheltering them, providing food and drink, assisting them in moving from place to place, always at great risk to themselves. The German army were active nearby, searching for the escaped POWs, and the Fascists had soon regrouped and were threatening death to those who were aiding the allies. I am afraid of the Germans. I am afraid of the Fascists. I am afraid of spies. I am afraid of my neighbours, and I am afraid of having my house burned over my head and of being shot if you are found here. My wife is also afraid. Now go!’ George Eric Newby CBE MC (December 6, 1919 – October 20, 2006) was an English author of travel literature. It is the story of a WWII British soldier, Newby, captured with his commando by the Italians and imprisoned in a former orphanage. As the Italians surrender to the Allies, the commando is freed, and attempts to flee. However, the Germans arrive and the commando is captured again. Only Newby, injured, remains at large. The rest of the film recounts how he is hidden and protected by the Partisans, and his survival.
