Visit the site of the most famous escape of World War II from a German prisoner-of-war camp that went down in history as “The Great Escape”.
In a tiny compound 600 men worked for a year in secrecy on the tunnels named Tom, Dick, and Harry. Finally, on the night of 24th of March 1944, 76 prisoners managed to escape from the camp through the Harry tunnel but soon after 73 were recaptured during the chase. Outraged, Hitler ordered to shoot dead fifty of them which was an appalling abrogation of the Geneva Convention.
Find out more about those dramatic events at the Museum of Allied POW Camps in Żagań, visit the grounds of Stalag Luft III and the memorial to the brave airmen who paid the highest price for an escape they considered a soldier's duty.

A superb tour, led by Marcin who is incredibly knowledgable about the history of Stalag Luft III and much more besides. He also accommodated our wishes by taking us to other interesting related places en route. The tour was very informative, very enjoyable and is highly recommended.
