In his latest series, Monty Halls tells the amazing stories of PoWs who escaped Nazi territory in World War Two.

From France, over the Pyrenees and into Spain, it's a treacherous journey even today, but back then it was often carried out in the dark, with no supplies or equipment, by sometimes injured and always exhausted and weak soldiers.

Monty also talks to brave locals who helped soldiers on the run.
