Sgt. PL Pepper

Sgt. PL Pepper

You might have heard of Sgt Pepper, but probably not of his wartime prisoner-of-war escape! Escaping from a working camp attached to the largest POW camp of the war, he chose to remain in Munich for two years, working on behalf of an underground anti-Nazi movement, operating in the birthplace of Nazism. A truly remarkable escape story!

For You The War Is Over is a podcast, hosted by Dave Robertson and Tony Hoskins, which looks at the real life stories of Prisoner-of-War escapes from the the Second World War.
