The Great Escape - Harry 'Wings' Day

The Great Escape - Harry 'Wings' Day

Harry 'Wing' Day is not just a legend of the Great Escape, but of Second World War Prisoner-of-War escapes in general. A hugely influential individual, he was to make many escape attempts, including from Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp only months after the Great Escape. An absolutely unmissable episode on an incredible character.

For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of Prisoner-of-War escapes from the the Second World War. Hosted by Dave Robertson and Tony Hoskins, each episode looks at a new escape.
