This
is absolutely amazing. 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. I guess this is one example of why they called these men the Greatest
Generation.
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 the link and take a look at
