My Escape From Germany (Classic Reprint) by Eric A. Keith Pdf

Excerpt from My Escape From Germany There is an element of chance and risk about an attempt to escape from an enemy's country which is bound to appeal to any one with a trace of sporting instinct. Viewed as a sport, though its devotees are naturally few and hope to become fewer, it has a technique of its own, and it may be better, rather than interrupt the course of my narrative, to say here something about this. As always, appropriate equipment makes for ease. But its lack, since a prisoner of war cannot place an order for an ideal outfit, may be largely compensated for by personal qualities. In considering the chances of success or failure, it must always be assumed that the route leads through a country entirely unknown to the fugitive. Yet this is not so great a disadvantage as one might suppose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Outwitting the Hun by Pat O'Brien Pdf

Excerpt from Outwitting the Hun: My Escape From a German Prison Camp Of every one who befriended me. I hope particularly that every good Hollander who played the part of the Good Samaritan to me so bountifully after my escape from Belgium will see these pages and feel that I am absolutely sincere when I say that words cannot begin to express my sense of gratitude to the Dutch people. It is needless for me to add how deeply I feel for my fellow-prisoners in Germany who were less fortunate than I. Poor, poor fellows - they are the real victims Of the war. I hope that every one Of them may soon be restored to that freedom whose value I never fully realized until after I had had to fight so hard to regain it.

My German Prisons by Horace Gray Gilliland Pdf

Excerpt from My German Prisons: The Story of My Two and a Half Years of Captivity in Germany and My Final Escape, November 14, 1914 April 8, 1917 The writer was appealed to, so constantly and so earnestly, to write his experiences, and was so weary recounting them, that at last he decided to put into print a short account of the happenings within his own personal knowledge during his two and a half years' imprisonment in Germany. He was also encouraged to do so from other and more important reasons. There are countless people throughout the world who have been so unfortunate as to have intimate friends and relatives in captivity in Germany. In the opinion of the writer, these people ought to know, from one who has had a bitter experience, to which these pages will testify, the true conditions under which the wretched prisoners existed. These pages are entirely uncensored and aim at a true record of events, in which there is no word of hearsay, or stories borrowed from others. As such they must stand. To those who may be inclined to be skeptical towards the newspaper reports of German brutality, it is hoped that this narrative will come as a revelation.

Escaping from Germany (Classic Reprint) by Edward Page Pdf

Excerpt from Escaping From Germany I have been asked many times, since my return, if the accounts told in the press from time to time regarding the treatment of prisoners of war interned in Germany were really true. I have endeavoured faith fully to answer these questions in these memoirs; I have endeavoured to show that, by their systematic brutality towards us, they succeeded in getting us down upon our knees, but could not finally succeed in throwing us flat upon our backs. Half-starved, ill-clothed (particularly during the winter of 1914 covered with vermin from head to foot, compelled wto live in vile dens of huts like cattle, they could not browbeat us; they could not, try as they might, crush that spirit that has made our race. I take great pride in placing upon record this fact we never for one moment forgot that we were English men - I mean, of course, Britons; and no matter in what circumstances of difficulty or misfortune we found ourselves, we always stood up to them, very often having to suffer ill-usage as the consequence. We could not help it - the old spirit was there and it would force its way to the surface. There are scores of thousands of Germans who will never forget the Englanders who came as prisoners of war amongst them; and our countrymen, whose' business or pleasure takes them to Germany when the war is over, will never be ashamed of anything they may hear concerning our actions while we were interned there.

Culturgeschichtliche Novellen by W. H. Riehl Pdf

Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.

My Three Years in a German Prison (Classic Reprint) by Henri Beland Pdf

Excerpt from My Three Years in a German Prison It was the 26th of July, 1914. My wife and I were walking leisurely in the park of a village in the Pyrenees, the sun shedding its warm, quickening rays in the Valley of the Gave when, suddenly, a newsboy approached us carrying under his arms a bundle of newspapers, and crying at the top of his voice, "War! War! It is War!" I stopped him, asking at the same time, "What war?" "Why, the war between Austria and Serbia. The paper will give you all the details," he answered.
