Yes, though it was very hard. Successful escapers include: * Hans Beimler (escaped from Dachau in 1933) * Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler (escaped from Auschwitz in 1944) * Rudolf Reder (escaped from Belzec in 1942) All these escapers wrote reports, books or pamphlets about the camps they escaped from. Witold Pilecki is worth mentioning. He deliberately got himself taken to Auschwitz in 1940 in order to find out what was going on there. He managed to escape in 1943.

There were successful escape from a number of concentration camps and extermination camps, including:

  1. Auschwitz (about 300 successful escapes)
  2. Sobibor (mass breakout, October 1943 - about 50 of the escapers were not recaptured and were still alive at the end of World War 2)
  3. Treblinka (mass breakout, 1943) - about 40 escapers were not recaptured and were still alive at the end of World War 2)
  4. Belzec - one man escaped (Rudolf Reder) and wrote a book about the camp which appeared in Polish in 1946.

If one goes back to the period before World War 2, there were a few successful escapes from Dachau, for example, Hans Beimler.

No, British soldiers taken prisoners by the Gerrmans were sent to prisoner of war (POW) camps, where conditions were much better.
