Description
For the first episode of our series on the Great Escape we are delighted to be joined by Professor Peter Doyle, who has done a great deal of work in, and on, Stalag Luft III, having been part of the team which first excavated Tunnel Dick. He joined us to set the scene for the series by sharing with us the history of the camp, what the camp was like, and just as crucially what camp life was like for the Prisoners-of-War held in Stalag Luft III. For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of Prisoner-of-War escapes from the the Second World War. Hosted by Dave Robertson and Tony Hoskins, each episode looks at a new escape.  If you would like to follow us on Twitter we can be found @FYTWIO we can also be found on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FYTWIO/ or if you would prefer to send a more long form message we can also be reached via email at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
