Pat O Brien narrates his World War I escape from German lines beginning with his Royal Flying Corps service, capture, and a perilous theater visit in occupied Belgium. He uses calm, stealth, and quick thinking to avoid detection while observers search for him among German officers.
I spent a perilous night in a Belgian town crowded with German soldiers and civilians. I kept a low profile at a table with a Belgian couple, ordered safe drinks, and avoided drawing attention while observing the soldiers, nurses, and officers around me. The evening passed with constant fear, but I remained unseen and wrote down souvenirs from the outing.
A narrator recalls two nights in a Belgian city during wartime air raids. He avoids risk the first night, then ventures out when dark, joining crowds that include many Germans and moving through damage and gathered civilians.
