About This Book

A first-person wartime memoir recounts capture, deportation, and prolonged internment in German prisons, combining a chronological narrative with reflective observation. The account describes chaotic evacuations and occupation, medical and hospital duties performed under confinement, daily routines and privations, relations among prisoners and with guards, notable escape attempts and stalled exchange negotiations, and the gradual movement toward freedom and recuperation in neutral and Allied territories. Short anecdotes, prison portraits, and critical reflections on militarism and administration illuminate both practical hardships and moral impressions.
