概要
The hacksaw blade that offered escape, and death
This episode recounts the extraordinary life of Frank Pickersgill, a scholar turned secret agent, and the harrowing decisions he faced during World War II. It explores the profound question of what it means to hold silent when your life, and the lives of thousands, hang in the balance.

Date: August 8, 1944
Location: Paris, France
Event: Prisoner transport
- Frank Pickersgill, a Canadian graduate student fluent in multiple languages, was captured by Germans after parachuting into occupied France.
- While interned at Stalag 220, Pickersgill used a hacksaw blade, smuggled in a loaf of bread, to escape through a window.
