In this the 80th anniversary of D-Day we are looking at an incredible joint escape by three POWs, Shannon, Dow and Helme, all of whom were Glider pilots who were captured on D-Day.

We were also trialling a new online recording, which will allow us to expand our offering, so please bear with us while we work out the early sound teething problems!

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.
