By 1947 Bowes knew that 46 of the 50 had been murdered in cold blood. In 1945 after the war Commander Bowes of the RAF Special Investigation Branch flew to Germany to find out how the 50 men had really died. As he did this he would be free, the rest stayed in the prison. They know that 3 men had reached England and that 54 man had died and 4 men were anywhere dead or alive.ĭodger an English soldier would be a go-between for Hitler and Churchill. A week later Massey came to a German officer that 50 man were caught when they tried to escape. After a few days 15 of the men were caught. The sun was almost uprising so that the rest could not escape. Not 200 men came out of the tunnel but only 76. They make different groups and go to different places. Roger gives an order to put all the sand of the tunnels in Dick.Īt the 24 they are trying to escape and to go back to England. They need much wood for the tunnel and cables for the electricity in the tunnel so they take wood of the beds to make the tunnel better.

As Tom is almost ready the Germans discover the secret trapdoor to the tunnel and they destroy Tom. But they still dig in the tunnel and Tom is getting longer fast, but the Germans are making the camp bigger so that they must make Tom longer and longer. After a few months Dick starts to collapse a few time and Roger gives the order to shut down Dick. They start to dig with the three tunnels at the same time. Tommy Guest has to make 200 German war suits so that they can travel as they escape. Roger Bushell makes a master plan so that they can escape. They must make a machine so that they can breath and they must get rid of the sand from the tunnels.

These prisoners want to escape and so they decide to make 3 tunnels called Dick, Harry and tom. This prison was made for The Allied Powers that where captive. This story tells about A German prison in the Second World War.
