As seen in the BBC TV documentary Auschwitz: The Forgotten Witness

--Soldier magazine

In 1942, Arthur Dodd, a driver and volunteer for the Royal Army Service Corps, was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Auschwitz, a name now synonymous with man's darkest hour. Forced to do hard labor, starved, and savagely beaten, Dodd endured fourteen months in the Third Reich's most notorious death camp. He refused to submit as he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to aid Jewish prisoners, and assisted a partisan group planning a mass breakout. A departure from the prevailing accounts from the Jewish perspective of the horrors of Auschwitz, this shocking story sheds new light on the operations at the camp, exposes a hierarchy of prisoner treatment by the SS, and presents the largely unknown story of military POWs held there.
