In Northern Poland in 1940, at the Nazi war camp Stalag XX-A, two men struck up an unlikely friendship that was to lead to one of the most daring & remarkable wartime escape stories ever told.

Antony Coulthard was the privately educated son of wealthy parents & he had a first-class honours degree in modern languages from Oxford. The other man, Fred Foster, was the son of a bricklayer from Nottinghamshire
- he left school with no qualifications aged 14.

This seemingly mismatched young pair bonded together & hatched a plan to disguise themselves as advertising executives working for Siemens. They would simply walk out of the camp, board a train
- & head straight into the heart of Nazi Germany. Which is precisely what they did.
