WW2 Chess Set With Concealed Escape Compass

This is a 'complete' set of wooden chess pieces contained within a wooden box. One of the chess pieces "black knight' contains an escape compass that is revealed by removing the base. There are no labels on the box but this type of chess set would have been supplied to POW's by the Red Cross organisation (without their knowledge of the compass) - Unusual to come across a complete set as typically I have only ever seen single pieces for sale in the past.
