I learned this word in my early teens when I read as many stories as I could find about escapes from POW camps in WWII. It was usually applied to the "coffee" they sometimes got.
Peter I watched a few movie 'escape' stories too and I thought ersatz was a poor substitute for the real thing, like when prisoner were given bread made from sawdust or potato scraps.
