Maj. OAJ Cary-Elwes (Special Guest: Damien Lewis)

For this episode we were re-joined by author and historian, Damien Lewis, to share with us the story of Major Oswald Cary-Elwes, of the SAS. Cary-Elwes features in Damien Lewis' latest book "SAS: Great Escapes Three", and features a daring rescue in Italy before making an incredible escape through occupied France immediately after D-Day. A truly incredible 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.
