| Meer info | Over de ontsnapping van Amerikaanse krijgsgevangenen uit het Duitse POW kamp te Villingen tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. On July 26, 1918, American aviator First Lt. George Puryear shot down a German observation plane and then, in an act of bravado, landed to accept the crew's surrender. In fact, by miscalculation he had landed inside the German lines, and it was the Germans who accepted his surrender. But Puryear redeemed himself ten weeks later when he led a mass escape from the prison camp at Villingen, Germany. In Escape from Villingen, 1918, Dwight R. Messimer tells the story of the unusual mass escape from the German military prison at Villingen. A total of 4,480 Americans were captured by the Germans during the war. Of that number, forty-four made at least one escape attempt. Thirteen of them attempted the escape from Villingen on October 6, 1918. Only three were not recaptured - half the total number of successful escapes made by Americans during the entire war. |
