A short summary of the author’s time in POW camps following his capture in Greece. Drawn in large part from letters written to his wife during his imprisonment, he relates his experiences at Warburg (Oflag VI B), Spangenberg (Oflag IX A) and Colditz (Oflag IV C). Reid highlights one escape attempt — two, if you count how he got qualified for repatriation — but most of his story reflects on krieges’ two biggest foes: tedium and crowded conditions. His love for his wife Frances shines through strongly.
