Dr Lucy Inglis, Archivist at King's College School, Wimbledon, joined us to tell us about Des Plunkett, the school's former pupil. Plunkett was in charge of the map making team, which produced thousands of maps for the Great Escape, but he led an interesting and colourful life either side of the war as well.

For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of Prisoner-of-War escapes from the the Second World War. Hosted by Dave Robertson and Tony Hoskins, each episode looks at a new escape.
