RAF - The Responsibilities Of A Prisoner of War, 1944

A.P.1548, March 1936, 3rd Edition, April 1944 (For European Theatre Only). ' THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A PRISONER OF WAR - Instructions and guidance for all ranks in the event of capture by the enemy '. Gatefold aide-memoire suggesting a Prisoner of War must only give his name, rank and number. No further information whatsoever should be given - Remember that a prisoner who systematically refuses to give information is respected by his captors.' It suggests behaviour under interrogation - stand to attention; give name, rank and number; avoid all attempts to bluff or tell lies; avoid all fraternization and refuse all favours etc. It goes on to suggest what information the enemy will attempt to extract along with the methods of doing so. Clearly marked 'NOT TO BE TAKEN INTO THE AIR' the intention that it was to be studied and learnt before taking to the air. Good, used condition and uncommon.
