Franz von Werra, pilot Luftwaffe, byl sestřelen v bitvě o Británii. Dvakrát uprchl z britských zajateckých táborů a nakonec byl deportován do Kanady. Tam znovu uprchl a pře zamrzlé jezero Svatého Vavřince se dostal do neutrálních Spojených států...a odtud pravděpodobně zpátky do Německa přes Pacifik a transsibiřskou magistrálu. Za své činny von Werra dostal Rytířský kříž.
