The famous wartime escape story by ERIC Williams abridged for radio in ten instalments by NAN MACDONALD Reader JOHN BENNETT 3: ColIap.se
'There was no light In the tunnel and very little air. He worked entirely naked, in a bath of perspiration. Once he got into the tunnel with his hands in front of his head he had to stay like that. He could not get his arms behind him again. Nor could he crawl with them doubled up. It was fingers and toes all the way.'
