Object details
If Escape Rooms and cartography are your passions, then this is the adoption for you. RAF prisoners of war held in Germany during the Second World War devised many ingenious ways to escape, but planning an escape route required a map. Maps were smuggled into prisoner of war camps by concealing them inside items sent as gifts in Red Cross parcels.
