Psychological Profile of the War-Captive

Sinan Çaya

Being a war of prisoner is a horrible experience. In a war prisoner camp, one is usually alone within the very midst of the crowd. Only group cohesion and continuing discipline can soften this horrible feeling as well as attempts for the betterment of life conditions or determined, resolute preparations for an eventual escape. This ideal of escape is an immense source of motivation for survival and perseverance. Turkish prisoners in Korea prison camps constitute a fantastic example of good morale and comrade-like solidarity, in this respect; as acknowledged by many military sociologists.
