Aviation Author and Photographer Philip Kaplan is once again ably assisted by his regular writing partner former RAF Pilot Jack Currie, as together they examine the Allied experience of trying to evade capture while being trapped behind enemy lines - and for those unsuccessful in doing so - the experience of detention inside a POW Camp. Concentrating in particular on detailing and illustrating with archival photographs the experiences of Allied Aircrew and their families and loved ones waiting for them back at home, they show the daily trials and tribulations of life inside these mainly Luftwaffe run POW camps throughout all of Occupied Europe. As well as covering some of the efforts at 'Goon Baiting' and Escape from these camps, they highlight just how difficult some POWs found it to adjust to a life behind the wire, while others embraced the opportunity to get a much desired university degree through the education programs on offer inside the camp. Other forms of activity's like gardening, sport, acting and music hall (often involving effeminate POWs who could pass for women being given the female roles) were also popular amongst those detained and the performers themselves. The rations inside the camps varied from location to location as did their treatment, especially after the devastating air raid on Hamburg in 1943, some POWs worked outside their camps as part of the Reich's forced labour program while others of a more troublesome kind were held in Concentration Camps after being recaptured. While never being treated as badly as POWs as the Japanese did theirs, it was not an easy life, and in 1945 POWs undertook the now notorious 'long march' in the depths of winter without any kind of protective clothing and minimal food supplies. As they were marched from one camp to another to avoid their liberation by Allied ground forces over several months, POWs suffered from starvation, frostbite and ill treatment, leading to a large number of deaths.
