The Welsh Great Escape from Island Farm Camp 198
A docu / drama detailing the Welsh Great Escape by German PoWs from Island Farm Camp 198 in Bridgend South Wales 10th/11th March 1945. IMPORTANT: Please be advised that there are some significant mistakes in this programme For Example:
1) Island Farm is quoted as being a "black camp" (Staunch Nazi) - Island Farm was a "white camp"
2) PoW Otto Iskat was severely beaten by fellow PoWs for failing to send Adolf Hitler a birthday card - Otto Iskat died of high blood pressure and a heart attack as per his death certificate.
3) The tunnel was 60 feet in length - the tunnel was nearer 30 feet in length
4) The PoWs who escaped were "German officers" - the PoWs who took part in the escape were low ran...

1976 BBC Documentary detailing the escape from Island Farm PoW Camp Bridgend, South Wales on March 10th 1945. The documentary features several of the German PoWs who took part in the daring escape and shows them returning to the camp.
I used to play in the camp as a 15 - 16 year old back in the early 70's. Gerald (piggy) Price was my form teacher.
THIS IS THE EXACT ONE I WATCHED IN HISTORY CLASS 🏴
I was in it! On the dvd cover! Can’t believe it’s shown in classes too! Amazing 😃
If anyone from my class sees this then I am someone from 921, Miss Elliotts class
Omg I know miss Eliot
What a great film - Lovely to see old local landmarks I remember from my childhood!
