The Escape of Captain Lux from the German Fortress of Glatz
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a daring and audacious escape that took place on Christmas night in 1911. The protagonist, Captain Charles Lux, a French reserve intelligence officer, found himself imprisoned in the formidable German fortress of Glatz in Silesia after being arrested for spying near the Franco-German border during the Agadir Crisis. Undeterred by his captivity, Captain Lux hatched an ingenious plan to regain his freedom. With the help of false papers provided by resourceful French journalists, he meticulously climbed down ropes made from bed sheets under cover of darkness. This incredible feat allowed him to descend undetected and make his way towards Austria. The image showcases the bravery and determination displayed by Captain Lux as he skillfully navigates his descent from the towering fortress walls. It is a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in even the most challenging circumstances. After successfully crossing into Austria, Captain Lux eventually returned to France where he published a gripping account of his remarkable exploits in book form. His story serves as an inspiration for all those who dare to dream big and defy seemingly insurmountable odds. This historic photograph not only commemorates an extraordinary escape but also highlights the indomitable spirit of individuals fighting for their freedom against all odds.
