Fl. Sgt. JP Dowd

In the final episode of this series we look at the escape attempts of Flight Sergeant James Patrick Dowd. After a number of escape attempts, he eventually succeeds in escaping from a camp at Grottkau. Making his way to Stettin, he gets help at a brothel, eventually succeeding in reaching Sweden.

Sadly our presenter, Dave Harrison, passed away from Covid last year, so this episode, as well as all the episodes in this series, is dedicated to him.

For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of POW escapes from the the Second World War. Hosted by History Nerd @DaveMcRobbo and Tech Geek @DaveHarrysson, each episode looks at a new escape.
