My German Prisons / Being the Experiences of an Officer During Two and a Half Years as a Prisoner of War

A candid, first-person account recounts the author's capture during battle and the subsequent two and a half years spent in enemy prison camps. It traces transport in cattle trucks, the dreariness of camp routine, hospital stays, formal proceedings and insults at a court-martial, harsh regimes under brutal commandants, and transfers between multiple prisons. The narrative details wounds and medical care, attempts to maintain morale, and several escape efforts that involve night marches, hiding in drains, eluding sentries, and crossing toward the frontier, concluding with eventual liberty and return. Themes include endurance, the daily hardships of captivity, and critiques of the captors' treatment.
