Summary/Abstract: The Great War changed a whole generation's lives. Due to his intellectual capacities and his moral conviction De Gaulle could solve his trauma of war, and during the two and a half years of his captivity he had enough time to „write out” his psychological wounds by self-training and self-education. At the same time he searched the possibilities for escaping from his military prison. The First World War remained as reference in his studies and determined his political decisions as well. In this study we can get to know a highly sensitive and introverted man.
