The Great Escape - Escape Maps

The Great Escape - Escape Maps

Dianne Rutherford joined us to look at the need, function, and production of the escape maps for the Great Escape. While working as a curator at the Australian War Memorial, Dianne studied and cared for the Memorial's map collection, including several POW made maps, and has even tried her hand at some of the techniques used by the POWs in the camp to mass reproduce their maps.
