In the final episode of this series we look at the escape attempts of Flight Sergeant James Patrick Dowd. After a number of escape attempts, he eventually succeeds in escaping from a camp at Grottkau. Making his way to Stettin, he gets help at a brothel, eventually succeeding in reaching Sweden.

Sadly our presenter, Dave Harrison, passed away from Covid last year, so this episode, as well as all the episodes in this series, is dedicated to him.
