The Great Escape. During the Second World War, Allied air crews who survived being shot out of the sky faced an uncertain future in enemy hands. In the first of two documentaries, personal accounts of captivity, escape and freedom from prisoners at the notorious Stalag Luft III camp re-create the scene of the abortive "Great Escape", where three tunnels were started by captives in an ambitious plan for 200 men to break free. See Choice.
