		The history of the Ruhleben camp offers an excellent example of an (all-male) community at war, and in particular allows us to examine the kinds of solidarities and prejudices that can emerge in modern human conflicts.
		Although the majority of the inmates stuck together and helped to form an impressive internal administration for the camp, class distinctions of a peculiarly British nature soon began to emerge, and were exacerbated by worsening conditions as the war continued.
		Since the inmates at Ruhleben were civilians, but were held as prisoners of the German military, questions also arise about the social and psychological impact of war on non-combatants and their families.

	Two German Prison Camps
		Ruhleben is a race-track on the outskirts of Berlin, and a detention camp for English civilians.
		The place was not as suited for a prison as the high land of Zossen, the stalls with their four bunks were dismal enough, and the lofts overhead, with little light and ventilation, still worse.
		There were still a few minutes before the play began, and we walked through some of the barracks with the commandant, a tall, bronzed officer of middle age, with gracious manners, one of those Olympian Germans who resemble their English cousins of the same class.

		This estate, Ruhleben Farm, comprised most of land bordering the North Eastern shores of the Grosser Plöner See.
		One particular portion, stretching about a mile southwards from the north-east corner of the lake, and lying at right angles to the Eutiniger Strasse was of little use agriculturally to the owners of Ruhleben Farm.
		When therefore the Nazi Naval authorities approached the owner of the strip of land with a view to his selling, it is not surprising that he was ready to part with it, though by all accounts he was able to command a heavy price.

		In those days it was usual for volunteer working gangs to go out of Ruhleben dragging carts, accompanied by a German soldier, for the purpose of bringing into the camp manure, gravel, and soil for the camp gardens.
		As it was desirable for us to escape from camp in the early afternoon, so as to be able to leave Berlin that night, we were glad to avail ourselves of the opportunity of escaping with the help of one of these gangs.
		Good men and true were plentiful in a camp like Ruhleben, and it was the work of only a few hours to get together a working gang of men who could be trusted to see little and say less.

		Keith MacMillan notes that since the composition was never performed in Ruhleben, despite the presence of a good string quartet and an active musical life there, it may not have been completed at that time.
		In Ruhleben, MacMillan wrote a number of fugues for string quartet on subjects used in previous Oxford Mus.D. examinations.

	Textura
		Even more epic, the seventeen-minute “Ruhleben” cruises through the nether regions of some remote galaxy, though Rawell's exotic thai flute adds a more earth-bound touch to its distant meanderings.
		Tracks like “Siemensdamm” and “Ruhleben” sound much like Monolake's material—one could easily imagine the steely showers percolating throughout “Jessner Strasse” being credited to Robert Henke in a Blindfold Test, for example—though that doesn't greatly surprise given the musicians' shared obsession with music software and dub-techno styles.
		In fact, it's not a promising sign when Studio Pankow dedicates an album to “the mighty Nord Modular” and follows song titles with software details (Cubase, Logic Audio) but you'd be remiss in dismissing Linienbusse as a collection of mere technology fetishism.
