World War Two's Luckiest Man (2011x7)

Uitzenddatum: Sep 06, 2011

Ninety-one-year-old veteran soldier Alistair Urquhart opens up about his experiences during the Second World War - an astonishing story of determination and stamina that saw him survive while so many others perished. Having been captured by the Japanese, the former Gordon Highlander was tortured, starved and put to work on Burma's infamous `Death Railway', bundled onto a Japanese `hell ship' that was sunk by an American torpedo and imprisoned near Nagasaki as the atom bomb fell.
