In
2013, well known scholar and leading authority on Second World War evasion and
escape tactics Bob Baldwin, author of "Last Hope: The Blood Chit
Story" (Schiffer Publishing, 1997), was invited to guest curate an
important exhibit of evasion and escape artifacts at the Frazier History Museum
in Louisville, Kentucky. The exhibit, "Behind Enemy Lines: Evasion and
Escape Aids of World War II," showcased hundreds of rare items which are
seldom seen and had never previously been displayed together in one place.
To
accompany the exhibit, a high quality, full color catalog featuring photographs
and descriptions of all of the artifacts on display was produced.
The
danger faced by soldiers trapped behind enemy lines has been recognized since
the beginnings of warfare. Allied aircrew members, special operations
personnel, and other soldiers at high risk of being caught behind enemy lines
during World War II had a "secret weapon" unlike anything seen
before. This weapon came in the form of the secret Evasion and Escape (E&E)
organizations established first by the British government, and then by the
United States. These organizations provided E&E training for Allied soldiers,
organized safe escape routes in occupied countries, communicated with prisoners
in enemy prisoner-of-war camps, and provided special E&E aids. It was an
extraordinary operation, unique in military history, and inspired the Survival,
Evasion, Rescue and Escape (SERE) operations conducted by today's military.
The
illustrated catalog proved to be extremely popular as a reference source for
students, historians and collectors, and, long after the exhibit ended, copies
of this book are still highly sought after. It is now offered as a reprinted
second edition, featuring a new foreword and introduction by Mr. Baldwin.
