This is really interesting. Sent to me by a friend here in Arizona. Sally


.....Neat piece of history and very well presented. Scroll down.


I guess everyone has seen The Great Escape at least once. This is about the
tunnel. It 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. Run your cursor over each
number and it will tell you about it. Click on the link:
