Escaping France
Werner Linnemann
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
France in upheaval.
A city caught between occupation and liberation. People on the move, decisions made under constant uncertainty.
Escaping France – Memories of Werner Linnemann is the authentic diary of Werner Linnemann, written during his escape after the liberation of Marseille. It is a record shaped in the moment — by disorientation, fear, and the determination to move forward.
The diary follows Werner through Marseille and beyond: crowded streets, improvised routes, long stretches of waiting, and sudden turns of fate. With restraint and clarity, he documents everyday life during extraordinary circumstances, capturing history as it was experienced, not reconstructed.
This book is the real diary of Werner Linnemann, transcribed and produced by his grandchildren. It stands as a personal historical document — a testament to flight, resilience, and the fragile pursuit of freedom.
