The Officer Who Tunneled Out of a Nazi Camp Through a Toilet

In 1939, Wing Commander Harry "Wings" Day was shot down over Germany and became one of Britain's first POWs. Over the next five years, he tunneled out of a camp with seventeen men, forged a pass and walked through the front gate, dug an escape tunnel from a latrine in Poland, and helped send seventy-six men through the most famous tunnel of the war — the Great Escape. The Nazis responded by escalating him to the one place no POW had ever been sent for escaping: Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where the guards told new arrivals the only way out was the chimney. He tunneled out of that too. This is the true story of the only British officer the Reich couldn't cage, and what it cost them to keep trying.
