Dude obviously never memorized the Code of Conduct, or went through SERE training. There is a duty to escape! Article III reads, “If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.”
I don’t know exactly what the WWII British equivalent of the Code of Conduct was, but I’m pretty certain that it wasn’t, “Once you’re captured, you just give up and sit there.”
