ANNEMASSE, Unoccupie d
France, May ! (UP).-Gen. Henri
Giraud, T63, commander of the
French army of the north before
the surrender in 1910, climbed
down an 80-foot hempen rope to
escape from a German military
prison and made his way through
Germany disguised as o Swiss
travelling salesman, it was dis
closed today.
His escape from Koenigstein
fortress, reveale d last week,
climaxed eight months of tedious
preparation during which Giraud
and his fellow-prisoners wove the
escape rope from hemp collected
during walks in nearby fields
which they were permitted four
times a week.
They timed the movements OF
their German guards until they
had worked out a split-second
schedule.
ESCAPED IN LAST WAR.
It was Giraud's second escape
from a German military prison.
During the last war he was cap
tured by the Germans but escaped
and passed through the German
lines disguised as Dutch peasant.
Koenigstein fortress is on an al
most inaccessible mountain, 300
feet above the River Elbe. 1t is
surrounded by a stone wall and a
deep moat, where guards patroled
constantly.
From gift boxes which had been
sent him from all parts of France,
where he is highly popular, from
Rumania, where he had served
several years ago on military
mission, and from Morocco. he as
sembled a suit of civilian clothing
for his disguise.
COMPLETES DISGUISE
Just before he made his break,
he received a valise which COM
pleted his travelling salesman's
outfit.
On a moonless night, he climbed
silently through a window Of the
fortress hospital and slid down
the 80-foot rope. dropping into the
Imoat at the instant the sentries
were farthest from him.
He crawled from the moat and
hid for two days in a nearby
forest, then started an 1l-day
Journey in which he doubled back
and forth through Czecho Slo-
Ivakia, across Germany and
Through Alsace-Lorraine TO Swift
Ierland.
