I see it pretty much the same way. Unfortunately they want to sell the
story while it still has some sizzle.

I think for how to write a story in the "wounded, rescued soldier"
genre, one might look to General Sir John Hackett's _I Was A
Stranger_; he wrote it himself some 30 years after the fact when he
could research what the Germans had been up to.
