For You The War Is Over · Dec 26, 2025 · 40m

Edgar Humphreys was one of three ‘Halton Brats’ involved in the Great Escape, and he was also one of the two murdered Great Escapers who had been known personally by Frank McKenna, the lead RAF Police investigator on the Great Escape investigation. We were joined by Angus Wallace, from the WW2 Podcast, to look at Humphreys' life.
