This confidential official publication, originally published in 1951 in an extremely short print run, records the methods of escape used by members of the RAF during WW2. Never released to the general public, it explores all aspects of the camps, the main thrust (190 pages) being the subject of escapes, as well as the reprisals that followed. This account provides the reader with an accurate and unprecedented insight into the subject of escape from German camps during WW2. Organised into three parts: Part I (pages 1-89) - The Organisation, includes chapters on: Prisoner's Psychology; The Problem of Escape; The Organisation of Escape; Intelligence; Forgery; Mapping; Food; Clothing; Tools; Security; and German Countermeasures. Part II (pages 99-281) - Escapes from Prisoner of War Camps. Most air force POWs were kept in separate camps administered by the Luftwaffe. These camps were labelled 'Stalag Luft's'. Includes chapters on escapes from nine separate camps, compiled with the assistance of many named airmen, together with chapters on reprisals and murder. Part III (pages 301-343) - Evacuation & Release, contains an account of the plight of POWs after the invasion of France, and the forced marches during the final stages of the War.
