    Discover the world’s most incredible breakouts with Legendary Escapes by gestalten
    Meet the free spirits from Legendary Escapes, a children's book by Soleda Romero and Julio Antonio Blasco.
    A group of 38 female prisoners escaped from Cabildo women’s prison in Montevideo. They belonged to the Movimiento de Liberación Nacional-Tupamaros (National Liberation Movement, MLN-T), ideologically on the far left, and acted as an urban guerrilla group throughout the 1960s and early ’70s. The people of Uruguay were starving, and the Tupamaros intended to challenge the government. Learn more about these women in Legendary Escapes by Little Gestalten.
    Günter Wetzel was one of the thousands upon thousands of Germans who were left isolat- ed from the rest of the world in the GDR when the wall was built. He lived with his family in Pössneck, a small town in East Germany, 12 miles from the border with the West. He made a decent living as a builder.
    During his time in jail, Dillinger came up with the ingenious idea of using an ordinary razor blade to sculpt a piece of wood into a replica revolver. The skilled prisoner honed the piece to perfection, darkening it with the black polish he used to shine his shoes. Discover more about this escape in Legendary Escapes by Little Gestalten.
