Who could imagine that, 60 years after the event, a home-made rush tunnel would unexcited be recognizable? And in friable, sandy soil at that? Or that the rubber heed made from a POW’s heel, once old to invent forged documents for the escapees, would composed have the recognizable marking of German Nazi insignia? Or that a chain of Klim cans, once strung together to ventilate the tunnel, would collected exist in spite of decades of corrosion?

This DVD shows this and more. Archeologists first obvious, from feeble aerial photos of Stalag Luft III, the region of the onetime hut that contained tunnel Dick. Next, the trap of Dick was located. It had been designed and then cleverly concealed in a concrete draining pit by a POW who had been a Polish engineer in the RAF. The tunnel opening itself was fair beyond a vertical slotted slab that had been fitted on the side of the draining pit (not the underside of the pit as erroneously shown in the film on the Gigantic Rush) . The corroded hooks once obsolete to seize the slab were also found. Section of the electric wiring ancient in Dick was level-headed visible. Most probably, it had been piece of that waterproof wiring that a POW had stolen from a German electrician. The fact that Dick had been abandoned for flee purposes and had been converted into a storage chamber explains the fact that the forger’s rubber note was also found in the upper allotment of the tunnel.

Because the tunnel had been dug thirty feet deep, a power shovel was conventional to dig a pit down to that level. One could at once relish the challenge to the tunnelers posed by the loose yellow sand. It kept cascading down into the pit. However, even though Dick had long since collapsed and the shoring boards rotted away, the crisp linear outline of the tunnel could mild be clearly seen at the bottom of the pit. Further probing revealed the chain of Klim cans once feeble to ventilate this tunnel. Unfortunately, the increasing anxiety of the sand collapsing caused further excavation to be called off.

A number of ageing veterans of Stalag Luft III were on hand to search for the excavation. One of them was Jimmy James. The scenes of the excavation of Dick were interspersed with scenes showing venerable photos of the camp as well as descriptions of the Stout Sizable itself. It would be intelligent if there were a followup dig to the residence of Harry. After the Spacious Run, the Germans had poured sewage into the tunnel but, unlike Tom, did not blow it up. At very least the concrete plugs poured in by the Germans, into both the exit and entry shafts of Harry, should be readily findable.

IN A NUTSHELL:

This Nova documentary features the current and the valid dwelling of “THE Large Speed” as seen by “Battlefield Archaeologists” who narrate artifacts which fit together neatly with the record of “The Vast Speed”. Three survivors of the historic event are on hand at the dwelling and provide first-hand insight to augment the theories and official characterize. The high-security POW camp, Stalag Luft III, in Zagon, Poland, was on March 24, 1944, the area of a heroic mass elope where 76 allied prisoners got out, 50 were “killed while escaping” several weeks later after being captured, and 4 made it to safety.

Suffice it to say that the Nova battlefield archaelogical team, equipped with scientists, witnesses, engineers, and excavators, found the remains of one of the renowned escape’s tunnels along with a plethora of artifacts that encourage the historical and eyewitness accounts.

EXCELLENT COMPANION TO THE WAR DRAMA “THE Broad Dash” – Starring Steve McQueen:

This Nova documentary makes an terrific companion to the 1963 Hollywood drama [filmed in Germany], ideally to be seen immediately before the movie to provide insight and perspective. It is nice to gape that the eminent 1963 war drama “THE Ample Elope” starring Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough was very closely based on fact, great more so than most other war dramas from the era.
