Publishers Description: ' This is a helluva way to get a story.' In December 1943, five correspondents join the British bombers air raid on Berlin. The brave group included Australians, Americans and a Norwegian journalist, who are each assigned to one of the 400 Lancaster bombers that flew into the hazardous skies over Germany. Of the five, only two land back at base to file their stories. For those on the ground in Germany the story was far from over. Amongst them, having parachuted out of his doomed aircraft, reporter Lowell Bennett is taken prisoner alongside other surviving shot-down airmen. Yet when he manages to convince his captors he isn' t a soldier, it heralds the beginning of a remarkable tour of bombed-out German cities to see first-hand the devastation of war for the everyday Germans. In Dispatch from Berlin, 1943, Australian historian Anthony Cooper and German researcher Thorsten Perl uncover this remarkable true story of life during war.
