In spite of the fact, that World War I prisoners of war in Germany were forbidden not only to write but even to possess paper, some of them began writing down the events they witnessed, usually in diary form. All writings found during searches were systematically confiscated and their authors punished, nevertheless people contrived to hide their notes from the enemy.
Though the “Escaped” is a later memoires, different to some extend, it is also a profound reflection on the situation and authentic description of the prisoners’ life in captivity.
The work of a British author Wallace Ellison, written in 1918, includes details of his many escape attempts and his final successes and freedom.
