Scrap Book of Documents Confiscated From German Prisoners of War in Egypt, 1943 - 1944

Second World War scrap book of maps and documents used by German prisoners of war attempting to escape from No 306 prisoner of war camp at Geneifa, Egypt, 1943 - 1944. The prisoners were mainly from the Africa Korps and those who attempted to escape were NCOs or Privates, although there were officers in the camp; the forgeries are very amateurish, for example the crossing of the sevens which the English do not do and the obvious altering of photographs to cover up Nazi badges or uniforms.
