This true story is really amazing and this gives you just a glimpse.
The Great Escape tunnel; (A piece of history worth saving)
Hard to believe this was possible, but it was done!
The interactive map is also creative, not nearly as much as the fortitude it took to engineer the escape itself. The animation alone is worth looking at .... but the story of the tunnel is amazing. This was the inspiration for the movie in the 60's, starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, and others. This is a fascinating look at a tunnel that was built in a German POW camp. The tunnel allowed 76 Allied POWs to escape.
