Daring French Aviator and Zouave Escape From Germany
Adjutant Keser Vat recounts the bold escape of Adjutant Reservat from a German prison camp near Mainz, aided by a peasant woman with chocolate and goods. The pair fled March 19 1917, evading guards, crossing forests and villages, tracing a perilous route toward the Rhine, finally reaching Holland and then France. The narrative details the journey, close calls, and the escape’s diary-style notes through March and June.
