Series 2, Episode 1 - Lt. The Earl of Cardigan

In this first episode of the second series we look at the escape of Lt. The Earl of Cardigan. Captured early in the war, he makes a dash for it from a moving lorry and eventually makes his way south to Gibraltar. He later released an account of his escape in his book, I Walked Alone.

Sadly our presenter, Dave Harrison, passed away from Covid last year, so this entire second series is dedicated to him. This is a shortened episode - due to technical issues - that we had planned to re-record, but under the circumstances have decided to edit what was useable and release it as a bonus episode.

For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of POW escapes from the the Second World War. Hosted by History Nerd @DaveMcRobbo and Tech Geek @DaveHarrysson, each episode looks at a new escape.
