The Great Escape

We're looking for the name of a town in Poland that was the site of the "Stalag Luft Three" prisoner-of-war camp. It was the scene of a daring break-out that inspired the movie "The Great Escape." 76 Allied prisoners escaped from the Nazi camp in March 1944. Most were later recaptured and many were killed. The town isn't forgetting its past. We'll hear more about that, when we name this town in western Poland.

The World's Geo Quiz tests your knowledge of world geography, and introduces you to fascinating people and places around the globe. The World is a US-based international news and analysis program co-produced by the BBC World Service, Public Radio International, and WGBH Boston.
