The Great Escape - Ivo Tonder

The Great Escape - Ivo Tonder

Ivo Tonder was one of the few Great Escapers from an occupied country to survive the experience, but the Great Escape was far from his only escape, before, during and after the war! We were joined by his daughter, Petra, who told us more about his life, and her own experiences of escaping Communist Czechoslovakia with her father.

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.
