| dbo:abstract | Goon-baiting is an interaction between the prisoner and the guard, or an oppressor, whereby the prisoner, aiming to ensure he is not endangered, ‘plays mind games, or does actions, to confuse or enrage an oppressor to the point of where he’d lose his composure.’ Goon-baiting was a term used in WWII. In WWII, in prisoner-of-war camps, goon-baiting was used amongst prisoners of all nationalities. The French sung banned songs without moving their lips at Appell. It was not quite sabotage; it was an art form, and the aim of goon-baiting was to achieve maximum impact without endangering yourself. Though not all prisoners participated in goon-baiting, some thinking it was bad manners, others thinking it gave any oppressor an opportunity, or more reason to retaliate, therefore it only brought with it more suffering. Examples of goon-baiting include, one prisoner being counted more than once in Appell in order to cover for a missing comrade, or to sow some confusion; or exaggerated salutes. (en) |
