Captured

Captured, first published in 1942, is Bessy Myers' account of her experience as a British Red Cross ambulance driver in France during the early days of World War II. During the retreat of the French army, Myers was captured imprisoned by the Nazis as a spy, and was sent to a military hospital (working under German orders). A French doctor turned her diary over to the Nazis, who then imprisoned her in the Cherche-Midi, the notorious military prison in Paris. Myers was later released into occupied France, and eventually was able to return to England.
