Neat piece of history and very well presented.
I guess everyone has seen The Great Escape at least once. This is about the tunnel and is awesome. The interactive map is also creative, but not nearly as much as the fortitude it took to engineer the escape itself. The animation alone is worth looking at, but the story of the tunnel is amazing.
This was the inspiration for the Steve McQueen movie in the 60's. It is a fascinating look at a tunnel that was built in a German POW camp. The tunnel allowed 76 Allied POWs to escape. Check it out. One of my most favourite movies

Great movie. Just think, if the tunnel would have been 30 feet longer, there's no telling how many could have escaped.
