摘要

二战期间德国战俘最大的一次越狱发生在1945年3月，地点是英国南威尔士布里真德的198集中营。自从营地关闭以来，该地点已被遗弃，没有进行科学调查。本文报道了从9号营房挖出的战俘逃生通道的搜寻工作。这个小屋仍然保存完好，有许多战俘的涂鸦。同时保存下来的还有一堵囚犯在浴室里建造的假墙，里面藏着挖掘出来的材料，不过隧道入口本身已经用混凝土覆盖了。利用近地表地球物理和地面激光雷达对隧道进行定位。中频探地雷达测量被认为是最佳的，由于地面上的金属物体，磁强计最不有用。考古发掘发现了完整的隧道和床板支撑。由于盟军战俘营逃跑的企图被详细记录下来，这项调查为德国人的逃跑努力提供了有价值的见解。

Multi-disciplinary investigations at PoW Camp 198, Bridgend, S. Wales: site of a mass escape in March 1945

Abstract The largest escape of German Prisoner of War (PoW) in WW2 was in March 1945 from Camp 198, situated in Bridgend, South Wales, UK. Since camp closure the site has become derelict, and has not been scientifically investigated. This paper reports on the search to locate the PoW escape tunnel that was dug from Hut 9. This hut remains in remarkable condition, with numerous PoW graffiti still present. Also preserved is a prisoner-constructed false wall in a shower room behind which excavated material was hidden, though the tunnel entrance itself has been concreted over. Near-surface geophysics and ground-based LiDAR were used to locate the tunnel. Mid-frequency GPR surveys were judged optimal, with magnetometry least useful due to the above-ground metal objects. Archaeological excavations discovered the intact tunnel and bed-board shoring. With Allied PoW escape camp attempts well documented, this investigation provides valuable insight into German escape efforts.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Conflict Archaeology is an English-language journal devoted to the battlefield and military archaeology and other spheres of conflict archaeology, covering all periods with a worldwide scope. Additional spheres of interest will include the archaeology of industrial and popular protest; contested landscapes and monuments; nationalism and colonialism; class conflict; the origins of conflict; forensic applications in war-zones; and human rights cases. Themed issues will carry papers on current research; subject and period overviews; fieldwork and excavation reports-interim and final reports; artifact studies; scientific applications; technique evaluations; conference summaries; and book reviews.
