He served 2 years in Allied prison after WWII. Testimony of his character by Allied
prisoners at Stalag LuftIII saved him from the death penalty. He was well respected by the prisoners and was invited to and attended their 25th reunion. Further info the escape can be found http://www.usafa.af.mil/ under the Library section.

Friedrich Wilhelm von Lindeiner genannt von Wildau's long list of friends arranged a swift courtmartial that reduced his rank to that of "private" at the age of 64. He was then sent to the front lines to a penal battalion. Reportedly, after two years in an Allied prison, he was sent to England to provide his accound of the escape from Stalag Luft III. After the war he was brought to Britain for testimony regarding the escape and its aftermath. He was released thereafter. He died in 1963 at the age of 82. I'm told his memoirs can be found in the archives of the U.S. Air Force Academy.

What if World War 1 didn't happen?
If world war one had not happened then I don't think that world war two would have happened. Sometimes you have to ask yourself: What did it achieve? If you can't come up with an good answer then there was almost no point in the world war one. If world war one had not happened then there would probably not have been a world war two!
