True...this happened.

My father was imprisoned there as a Prisoner of War. It was one of several Prisoner of War camps he was placed in. He served in the Canadian Army. He survived the Great Death March ordered by Hitler. I'm sure their confinement was much more difficult than this movie conveys. Just the same I'm grateful that this movie was made and has kept alive the amazing efforts of those who when they enlisted signed an agreement that they would do all they could to attempt an escape if captured. They have found several of the original tunnels and they invited all the still living original diggers/ escapees to return to view the findings and to fill in the gaps as to what the archeaologists had retrieved from the exposed tunnels. It's on "You Tube" I believe. These men have become WW II heroes in many eyes, mine included.
