ESCAPES
OF
WORLD 
WAR 2
This six-part series looks at some of the most incredible escapes 
of World War 2. From both sides of the war and all around the world, 
captured soldiers, sailors and airmen dared the impossible to win their 
freedom. They dug tunnels, stole planes, forced their way through 
deadly jungles, and marched huge distances pursued by death squads… 
a testament to the unrelenting human spirit that refuses to concede. 
These are their stories.
