My Escape from an English Prison Camp, by Gunther Plüschow | 4-12 July 1915 | Episode 80
Published on 4 July 1915
On the outbreak of the war, the writer of this chapter, Herr Plüschow, was a naval flying officer at Kiao-Chou, China. Escaping in his aeroplane during the siege of that town in November 1914, he sailed from New York in January 1915. Identified and taken prisoner at Gibraltar, he was taken to England and interned at Donington Hall. Here, as a counterpart to other stories of bold English escapes from German camps, is Herr Plüschow's own story of his remarkable escape in July 1915 to Germany.
According to his Wikipedia entry, Herr Plüschow is the only German combatant during either World War to have successfully escaped from a British prison camp.
