In addition, students will
1. Explain the difference between an escapee and evader
2. Gain insight on the different set of rules escapees and evaders were subject to in WWII Europe.
3. Create a fake id in Paint or Photoshop using escape and evade information from the American Air Museum website (research based)
4. Interpret and understand an escape and evade map (no GPS)
5. Pronounce correctly (given a translation table) common German, French, Italian, and Spanish phrases (no Google translator)

What's the difference between and escapee and an evader?
An Escapee is one who has already been captured, for example, a POW, If the prisoner was able to escape, he or she had to turn to evasion tactics.
An Evader is one who has not been captured. Many World War II evaders were either Army Air Core (USAF) if they were from the United States, the Royal British Air Force (RAF) if they were from England, or they were in a branch of special forces.
