Brigadier James Hargest

For You The War Is Over · May 21, 2021 · 28m

In this episode we look at the escape of Brigadier James Hargest, a New Zealander who was captured by Rommel, held in Campo 12 in Italy, reaching Switzerland in record time after his escape.

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.
