PRISON DETAIL


This dramatic picture from the Boitsfort football stadium in Brussels was taken in 1948. It shows Albert (left) and Jeff Olbrecht who are on a prison work detail from Het Klein Kasteeltje prison.

It was taken shortly before Albert's escape from the prison via the stadium.

Having escaped from Brussels, he stayed on a "hippy" farm until he could get a false passport and be assured a place on the Cistercian ratline to Ireland.

Get the book.

The book is available to readers in Europe here, and to those outside Europe, and particularly in the USA here
