Etape definition

Etape means the transfer of prisoners from one camp to another. This transfer is feared like death by every prisoner, from the man of "Dixie No. 1"—that is, the prisoner who has fulfilled less than half of his work-assignment and gets the smallest ration—to the "brigadiers," the group-leaders and the overseers. None of them wants to "go on etape"—for the simple reason that the transfer is always for the worse. Even more terrifying is the thought of the journey itself.
