We might just need to learn some of these lessons, now that we are near full communisim folks.

It is very interesting HISTORY. Since we seem to have learned nothing else from history here in America, maybe we might want to get some ideas for the upcoming years of total communism. It could just save your life.

Remember Stalag 13?






The Tunnel that made The Great Escape possible (This was the same tunnel
made famous by the movie 'The Great Escape') When graphics appear, move
cursor over the number (no need to click) to display an explanation of
activity.

Make sure you take the tour. It's really something to see.

This may be one of the most amazing e-mails I've seen. The last number to
'roll over' is 16. Be sure to look and read the numbers and click 'next'
to move along.

In 1943 work had begun on 'Harry', the tunnel that allowed over 70 men to
escape from the German POW camp, 'Stalag III', during World War II.
This was the same tunnel made famous by the movie 'The Great Escape'.
The URL below takes you to a site where one of the men, after the War,
drew a diagram with explanations of each of the sections.

It's amazing how accurate the movie was, even though it couldn't possibly
include all the information involved in this great engineering feat. Hope
you find this as interesting as I did.
