General Note

Homerun: These are the great escapes of World War II! Beaten and half-starved, these POWs rallied to do the impossible and escape the clutches of the enemy. Relive the mass breakout of American POWs from Japan's 'inescapable' Davao Prison and the daring 'Great Escape' from Germany's notorious Stalag Luft III. Finally, hear the amazing tale of the only German officer to escape from the British. Behind Enemy Lines: Drawing on ingenious tactics- and a lot of guns - they made some of the most hair-raising breakouts from enemy camps ever! Meet the Vietnam hearo who tricked the Viet Cong with golfing terminology, the World War I heroine who helped Allied troops escape the Germans and meet the only known person to escape from the Civil War's dreaded Andersonville prison - and live to tell about it. Triumph Over Tyranny: Wartime heroics aren't limited to soldiers. Meet some ordinary people who made extraordinary escapes from the horros of war - like the young girl who evaded the Nazis by living in a sewer. Or the darling East German couple who fled Cold War tyranny by taking on 'Checkpoint Charlie' with nothing but a tiny sportscar. Relive these amazing tales of ingenuity and bravery!
