This question came up another forum. Any ideas?

... looking for story she heard 10 years ago on CBC radio.
It‘s a World war II story, I think. Some soldiers are captured by
Germans in France and treated crueling and kept in terrible
conditions. The soldiers eat each other to survivie. Only one soldier
lives and he is court martialed. Patron says it is a up-lifting
story. not to me She has contacted the CBC and they were not
helpful.

My idea is that the story is "balognia" pun intented, an urban legend.
Perhaps the lady should contact Terrence McKenna hope I am spelling his
name wrong
He did quite a hatchet-job on the WW2 RCAF and wasn‘t too kind to
soldiers and sailors either, in a CBC-TV production a few years ago. On
second thought, don‘t tell her.
It‘s not just that we Canadians are in Egypt a state of de Nile it‘s
just that the story doesn‘t sound practical. Perhaps she is confusing
the story with an actual incident that happend in the North as a result
of a plane crash. The name Martin Hartwell seems to ring a bell.
