Summary of Heinrich Harrer's Seven Years in Tibet

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had planned to escape from India during the war, but the war suddenly began, and I was taken prisoner. I was then transferred to another camp. With the help of like-minded companions, I collected compasses, money, and maps.

#2 We were transferred to another camp in India, and this time we were transported by rail to the biggest POW camp in India. The conditions at the camp changed completely, and we had the Himalayas right in front of us. We thought about escaping over the passes to Tibet.

#3 I had originally intended to escape alone, so that I wouldn’t have to consider a companion. But one day, my friend Rolf Magener told me that an Italian general had the same intentions as myself. We quickly joined forces on the basis that I would be responsible for all the planning, and he for the money and equipment.

#4 I was often sent out to gather information for the escape plan, and I learned how to climb over the camp’s outer fence and into Marchese’s wing. I cut the wires, and we escaped into the jungle.
