Summary
As a German defeat loomed, the SS head of the POW camps Gottlob Berger made a pivotal decision: he would disobey direct orders and spare their lives. 'Please remember what I have done for you when the war ends,' he asked. This Nazi overseer, who would later be convicted of war crimes, held their future in his hands.
Eighty years later, David Lascelles - the son of George, Earl of Harewood, who would never have been born if his father had been executed - traces the Prominentes' extraordinary journey and wonders who Gottlob Berger was and what motivated his fateful decision: compassion? Remorse? Or self-interest?©2026 David Lascelles (P)2026 Profile Books Limited
