A never-before-seen album of original hand-drawn sketches by Flight Lieutenant Terence Herbert Francis Entract (Prisoner No. 2085 / Service No. 131770), created during his time in the Belaria sub-camp of Stalag Luft III in Sagan, during WW2. Born in London on 11th February 1917, Entract captured camp life with extraordinary skill and detail.

This album features 48 unique sketches and paintings, vividly illustrating daily scenes within the camp, portraits of fellow POWs, as well as watercolours, hand-made theatre invitations, and a typed letter from camp Kommandant Friedrich-Wilhelm von Lindeiner to Colonel Charles G. Goodrich, the Senior Allied Officer (SAO) for the South Compound at Stalag Luft III. A truly captivating historical artifact, these works offer an intimate glimpse into the resilience and mundane day-to-day life of prisoners of war.
