Escape from Villingen, 1918 .

Messimer, Dwight R. Escape from Villingen, 1918. College Station: Texas A & M University Press, 2000.

"This is an account of the only mass escape made by American prisoners of war (POWS) during World War I.

"The Germans captured 4,480 members of the AEF. Of that number,only forty-four attempted to escape -- some of them several times -- and only six succeeded in making their way back to Allied lines. Even fewer British POWs attempted to escape."

World of UTEP rates this book a straight: !!!
