Description
Captives: Prisoners of War and Internees 1939-1945
Millions of people were held captive around the world during the Second World War, including those in the armed services who became prisoners of war, as well as ordinary citizens who were classified as enemy aliens. This book presents a variety of visual materials, such as maps, photographs, and drawings, alongside eyewitness accounts of capture and attempted escapes, to give a true picture of how it was possible to survive mentally and physically in captivity.
Expertly collated by those from The National Archives, this book explores the varied experiences of prisoners and internees, including those who found solace in music, art, writing, or falling in love to cope with their circumstances.
