This is the true story of Wally Floody, a Canadian airman who spent most of WW II trying to escape by tunneling under German concentration camps. He was a prisoner of war and the movie, The Great Escape, tells the story of him and his fellow escape artists. They were incredibly versatile and invented all sorts of contraptions - like using empty cookie tins to make radios, forging certificates and making their own fake uniforms. This is an exciting, true story about an ex-miner who became a tunnel digger extraordinaire, and took part of one of the most dramatic escape stories of the war.
