WW2 Escapes

WW2 escapes were wars in miniature: one prisoner, one fence, and an entire occupied continent between a camp and home. Tunnels dug with spoons, uniforms sewn from blankets, papers forged by candlelight — this show tells the true stories of WW2 escapes from behind enemy lines.

Each episode reconstructs one escape in full, cinematic detail: the capture, the camp and its routines, the plan built gram by gram under the guards' noses, the night of the breakout, and the run across hostile country where every stranger was a coin flip. No host chatting between clips, no panel debating strategy. Just one complete story, narrated start to finish, built from debriefs, camp records, and the escapers' own accounts.

You will crawl through the great WW2 tunnel breakouts, walk with airmen passed hand to hand along resistance lines, and follow prisoners who escaped not once but three, four, five times. Some episodes follow a single night minute by minute; others trace an escaper's whole war from first capture to final border. All of them treat WW2 escapes as what they were: acts of defiance that tied down enemy divisions and gave the men behind the wire a reason to endure.

If you are drawn to WW2 escapes that read like thrillers because they were, this is built for you. New episodes drop regularly. Subscribe now so the next escape lands the moment it goes live.Copyright OBOMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT 世界

  • A parachute that opened too late, and the cost of refusing to stop

    A parachute that opened too late, and the cost of refusing to stop
    2026/09/01
    A fighter pilot joins the Luftwaffe late, then refuses to stop flying for six years. What does that refusal cost him, and what does it build?

    A parachute that opened too late, and the cost of refusing to stop

    This episode explores the life of Karl-Heinz Greisert, a pilot who defied expectations by joining the Luftwaffe at an older age and continued to fly through some of the most intense aerial combat of World War II. It examines the personal cost of his relentless dedication and the legacy he left behind.

    Person: Karl-Heinz Greisert
    Date of Birth: February 2, 1908
    First Confirmed Kill: November 30, 1937
    First Assignment: Second Staffel of J/88, Condor Legion
    Total Confirmed Aerial Victories: 34

    - Karl-Heinz Greisert joined the Luftwaffe at 28, an age considered old for a fighter pilot candidate, who were typically in their early twenties.
    - His first confirmed aerial victory was a Polikarpov I-16 over Spain in 1937, while serving with the Condor Legion.
    - By the start of the war in Europe in 1940, Greisert was 32 and had accumulated seven victories, including six during the Battle of France.
    - During the Battle of Britain, he shot down a Spitfire and two Hurricanes, demonstrating his continued effectiveness in combat.
    - On November 28, 1940, Greisert became the acting commanding officer of JG 2 after the disappearance of Helmut Wick, the top-scoring Luftwaffe ace at the time.

  • You chose to hold the controls and let seven men live

    You chose to hold the controls and let seven men live
    2026/08/31
    A burning B‑17 over occupied Belgium: a pilot must choose between jettisoning his bombs to save himself or holding the controls so seven crewmen can escape. What would you do?

    You chose to hold the controls and let seven men live

    In this episode, we hear the story of Frederick Walker Walker and the four minutes on Christmas Eve 1944 when he faced a life-or-death choice aboard a B-17 over occupied Belgium. The episode traces his life from West Point and industry to command in the Eighth Air Force, and asks how his past shaped the decision he made in the sky.

    Person: Frederick Walker Walker
    Date: December 24, 1944
    Location: Over occupied Belgium
    Event: Right wing fire on a burning B-17
    Status: Seven crewmen escaped; Walker did not

    - Baptized with Henry H. Arnold as godfather, Walker entered life already connected to American air power.
    - Graduated West Point seventh in his class, known for precision and quiet command rather than showmanship.
    - Worked at Sperry on electric gun turrets and the Norden bombsight before being recalled to build the Eighth Air Force in England.
    - Took command of the 94th Bomb Group in June 1943, restoring discipline and order to a fractured unit through steady, exacting decisions.
    - On Christmas Eve 1944, with the right wing ablaze, Walker chose to stay at the controls rather than jettison bombs over Allied-held territory, enabling seven men to escape.

    You run a mile in sand before takeoff - which seat do you give?
    2026/08/30
    A bomber returns with 594 bullet holes, but its crew chief walks away. Weeks later, he's given a worse plane for a search-and-rescue mission.

    You run a mile in sand before takeoff - which seat do you give?

    This episode covers the early life and military service of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner whose wartime experiences defied belief. It explores the extraordinary resilience of a man facing impossible odds.

    Person: Louis Zamperini
    Date: January 26, 1917 (birth)
    Location: Torrance, California
    Event: Second World War
    Aircraft: B-24 Liberator

    - Louis Zamperini, born to Italian immigrants in Olean, New York, moved to Torrance, California, at age two.
    - As a child, he was known for stealing, drinking, and frequent arrests, until his older brother Pete encouraged him to try running.
    - At seventeen, Louis set a national high school mile record of 4 minutes, 21.3 seconds, earning a scholarship to USC.
    - He qualified for the 1936 Berlin Olympics in the 5000 meters, where he met Adolf Hitler after finishing eighth.
    - In 1943, after his B-24 Liberator "Super Man" was riddled with 594 bullet holes, Zamperini was reassigned to the notoriously unreliable "Green Hornet" for a search-and-rescue mission.
