Of course, you have to enter restricted parts of the camp to find items crucial for your escape\.

When you are caught in a suspicious situation, you will be stripped of all items that you found so far\. To avoid that, you have to deposit objects in a safe place\. You need to find keys to open locked doors, uniforms for camouflage, flashlights to see in dark tunnels, and many more\. Rule number four: guard commands are to be obeyed at all times\. The German soldiers patrol on fixed routes and have a line of sight\. You have to learn the guard’s routes and sneak past their backs to avoid detection when breaking out\.
