For more information, please contact [email protected] THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES SURVIVING POW CAMP OFLAG XVII-A: ACTIONS OF A FEW By SHELBY YOUNG A Thesis submitted to the Department of History in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with Honors in the Major Degree Awarded: Spring, 2019 3 Preface I began this journey of research in 2016. My research interests began with World War II and the occupation of France. I had the chance to complete an oral history report with World War II survivors and their families in the region of Alsace, France. This research then evolved into my interest in completing a thesis. In my original oral report, I came across the film Sous Le Manteau. Historians began to discuss Oflag XVII-A because of this film’s clandestine raw footage of a POW camp. The more I researched on the film the more I read about an escape attempt. However, in some sources I read there were mentions of an escape attempt sponsored by the French Resistance. The more I researched, I came to realize that this escape attempt, that is often discussed out of context, occurred at the same prisoner of war camp Sous Le Manteau was filmed at. I originally planned to analyze Sous Le Manteau as a form of resistance but then turned to discuss the French language as a barrier or an aid in this escape attempt among the French prisoners.

  • Geoffrey Best
    GEOFFREY BEST Geoffrey Francis Andrew Best 20 November 1928 – 14 January 2018 elected Fellow of the British Academy 2003 by BOYD HILTON Fellow of the Academy Restless and energetic, Geoffrey Best moved from one subject area to another, estab- lishing himself as a leading historian in each before moving decisively to the next. He began with the history of the Anglican Church from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, then moved by turns to the economy and society of Victorian Britain, the history of peace movements and the laws of war, European military history and the life of Winston Churchill. He was similarly peripatetic in terms of institutional affili- ation, as he moved from Cambridge to Edinburgh, then Sussex, and finally Oxford. Although his work was widely and highly praised, he remained self-critical and could never quite believe in his own success. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XIX, 59–84 Posted 28 April 2020. © British Academy 2020. GEOFFREY BEST Few historians write their autobiography, but since Geoffrey Best did A Life of Learning must be the starting-point for any appraisal of his personal life.1 It is a highly readable text—engaging, warm-hearted and chatty like the man himself—but inevit- ably it invites interrogation. For example, there is the problem of knowing when the author is describing how he felt on past occasions and when he is ruminating about those feelings in retrospect. In the latter mode he writes that he has ‘never ceased to be surprised by repeatedly discovering how ignorant, wrong and naïve I have been about people and institutions, and still am’ (p.

  • Illustrated History Atlas Martin Gilbert Preface
    JERUSALEM Illustrated History Atlas Martin Gilbert Preface In this Atlas, I trace the history of Jerusalem from biblical times to the present day. Each map is illustrated by a facing page of prints or photographs. The sixty-six maps, taken together, are intended to provide a broad survey of Jerusalem's history, with special emphasis on the City's development during the last hundred and fifty years, when it grew from a remote and impoverished provincial town of the Ottoman Empire, with a population of less than 40,000, to a capital city with a population of more than 360,000. In the bibliography, beginning on page 124, I have listed those maps, atlases, guide books, travellers' tales and historical works which I consulted while preparing the maps, and on which I drew for the contemporary material which they contained for each decade of the city's history. I am extremely grateful to all those individuals who gave me advice, encouragement and materials, both in London and Jerusalem, during my work on the maps and illustrations for this volume: in particular I should like to thank Azaria Alon, Professor Yehoshua Ben-Arieh, Ruth Cheshin, Fritz Cohen, David S.
