WWII's Great Escapes: The Freedom Trails

Slovenia: The Crow's Flight (1x1)

Data emisji: Wrz 16, 2017

Monty heads to Slovenia to retrace one of the most daring, yet unknown, mass escapes of Allied prisoners during the Second World War, made possible only with the help and kindness of ordinary people. He’s joined by Neil Churches, whose father Ralph escaped the Stalag 18D prison camp with a few friends, aided by local partisans. They returned just hours later and rescued over 80 fellow prisoners who had been left behind. The group traveled 150 miles through rough terrain – facing the elements, German patrols, ambush, and betrayal.
