Watch Welsh Great Escape

On the night of 24th March 1944, 76 took part in the world famous Great Escape from Stalag Luft III in . Hitler was informed, and five million people prepared to take part in the largest manhunt of the war - with tragic consequences. One year later, 70 German POWs escaped from the high security camp in Bridgend in Wales and were tracked by a motley collection of armed soldiers, Home Guard, dogs, local children and Girl Guides. One of the largest manhunts of the whole war was dramatic, serious and comic in turn - but not tragic.
