F2330C - The Great Papago Park POW Escape
1 Session | Available (Membership Required)
It is the 80th anniversary of the escape of 25 German POWs on Christmas Eve from the camp in Phoenix. They had dug a 178-foot tunnel over the previous three months. It led to the biggest manhunt in Arizona up to that point. Some almost made it to Mexico and the last one was not captured for over a month.
