In this episode we were joined not just by the family of Herbert Martin Massey, the Senior British Officer in Stalag Luft III, but also his official biographer, Andrew White. In the first of our biographical episodes we look at the life of Massey, but also discuss his role in The Great Escape and how there would have been no Great Escape without his sign off on the plan.

For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of Prisoner-of-War escapes from the the Second World War. Hosted by Dave Robertson and Tony Hoskins, each episode looks at a new escape.
