Description:
Learn of the "White Mouse" of the French resistance, and follow the British retreat from Dunkirk. Relive the P.O.W. breakout that inspired The Great Escape, and hear from some of the 36 men who survived the sinking of the Oklahoma. Blending interviews with former prisoners, resistance fighters and soldiers with extraordinary archival footage and insightful commentary from leading scholars, The Great Escapes of World War II brings these stirring stories to life like never before.

An engrossing account of brave and seemingly impossible escapes from enemy prison camps and other dangerous situations. The almost Python-esque methods of escape are mind-boggling. Real "Let's dig a tunnel a quarter of a mile long with nothing but a spoon and a cork screw" type stuff--but they actually did it, and it actually worked. The extreme creativity and bravery of a member of the French Resistance who is trying to free her husband from capture by the Germans will bring you to tears.
