Best Real Life, WW II survival story I have ever read!

As a young boy in High School, this Estonian man dreamt of becoming a doctor, but at age 16, the Russians invaded Estonia. This is one of the most extraordinary, true survival stories I have ever read. This man fought the Russians in Estonia, then escaped and went to Finland to continue fighting Russia. When he was about to be captured, he found ingenious ways to escape, over and over again. Through all of this he never gave up his dream to become a doctor, finally emigrating to the United States, finishing his medical degree, and became a successful, respected doctor in a Wisconsin town. I loved his story so much, I found him on Facebook and contacted him. At age 97, he Emailed me and thanked me for reading his story. Really worth the read for either WW II history or just great human interest.
