Listen "The (Russian) Great Escape"
Episode Synopsis
In the final months of World War II, Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyataev pulled off one of the most daring escapes in history. Captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in a brutal labor camp on the island of Usedom, he faced near-certain death. But instead of waiting for fate to take its course, he did the unthinkable—he and a group of fellow prisoners hijacked a Heinkel He 111 bomber and flew to freedom. This is the incredible true story of how one man turned the enemy’s own war machine against them, outwitting the Nazis and changing the course of history.
