He Escaped the Nazis… Then His Own Country Turned Against Him | Mikhail Devyatayev
On February 8, 1945, Soviet fighter pilot Mikhail Devyatayev and nine fellow prisoners of war accomplished what seemed impossible—they escaped from one of Nazi Germany's most heavily guarded military sites by stealing a German aircraft. But surviving the escape was only the beginning. When Devyatayev returned to the Soviet Union, he faced suspicion instead of celebration. Investigated by the very country he had risked everything to return to, he spent years waiting for recognition that many believed he had already earned. This is the remarkable true story of courage, survival, loyalty, and the complicated reality of coming home after war.
