Late August 1939 – Hitler’s armies were poised to invade Poland, while in Austria the International Six Days Trial was nevertheless underway. The trial was dubbed “The Motorcycling Olympics”, where the creme de la creme from five or six nations competed in six days of hard riding.

This book tells the story of how all the British competitors and spectators successfully made it away through Switzerland with the help of their German escorts.
