Trapped Man
In 1951, a story about a German soldier was found alive after being trapped with several comrades following the dynamiting of their bunker on 1945.[2][3][4] The soldiers died (Two suicides, two unknown causes) leaving only one survivor who was said to have made a full recover, but his identity was never revealed.[5]
The story inspired a novel called Le Blockhouse by French author Jean-Paul Clébert which was made into a film of the same name in 1973.[6]
