The Welsh Great Escape

In the dead of night in March 1945, almost seventy desperate young German prisoners of war tunnelled from a camp in Bridgend in Wales and escaped over the sand dunes. The film follows the fate of the POWs, many of them committed Nazis, as they were tracked by armed soldiers, the Home Guard, dogs, local children and Girl Guides as one of the largest manhunts of the whole war got underway.

Moving story. A heroic digging party results in a long tunnel under the fence and frees a group of German soldiers. But where to go afterwards? Britain is an island... and back they go.
The best parts of the documentary are the interviews with the ex prisoners; it is all so idyllic, as if it is no war going on, no holocaust as if it is all a tea party...
