This authoritative account of their many exploits, drawn from the narratives of the men themselves, makes compelling reading. It includes such remarkable stories as The Wooden Horse a hollow vaulting horse that was used to disguise a tunnel entrance, enabling three men to escape and finally reach England, and of the persistent and ingenious attempts to escape made at Colditz, known as The Escapers Camp.
