Publisher's Summary

The famous story of mass escape from a WWII German POW camp that inspired the classic film.

One of the most famous true stories from the last war, The Great Escape tells how more than 600 men in a German prisoner-of-war camp worked together to achieve an extraordinary break-out. Every night for a year, they dug tunnels, and those who weren't digging forged passports, drew maps, faked weapons and tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes to wear once they had escaped. All of this was conducted under the very noses of their prison guards. When the right night came, the actual escape itself was timed to the split second - but, of course, not everything went according to plan....

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
