Fifty miles upstream from the mouth of the vast Digoel River, which rises in the central range of New Guinea, are the vast reedy swamps which are the breeding grounds of innumerable crocodiles. Gunther Bahnemann, a daring rebel who had once deserted from the Afrika Korps, took a poaching expedition there, running a gauntlet of Dutch gunboats and the even more dangerous hazards of the jungle head hunters whose domain he invaded. In this unique adventure, the one-time Wehrmacht dispatch rider, now an Australian, describes how he and the men with him risked their lives to make quick money. But not easy money.
