Major Alexis Casdagli was imprisoned by the Nazis from 1941 to 1945. He began stitching on scraps of canvas and bits of thread to pass the time. One of his pieces was a seemingly innocent sampler with a border design – but the dots and dashes were actually Morse code that spelled out "God Save the King" and "Fuck Hitler".
Major Casdagli's works were displayed in four separate camps where he was imprisoned, but his captors never caught on to the secretly stitched messages. He also ran a needlework school for 40 officers inside the camp. His work illustrated his thoughts, feelings, and what gave him the strength in surviving his four years as a Prison Of War.
