American-born Dodge was a cousin by marriage of Winston Churchill. When the Second World War broke out he volunteered for the Army but was quickly captured after the debacle of Dunkirk. He became a prisoner of war & an inveterate escapologist & troublemaker
- eventually becoming one of the ringleaders of the Great Escape. Surviving the murderous Gestapo he was thrown into a VIP compound of Sachsenhausen concentration camp on the orders of Heinrich Himmler
- but escaped once more. After recapture Johnny was spirited away by the SS to a meeting in Berlin with Hitlers interpreter who sent him on a clandestine mission to his cousin in Downing Street. His odyssey through the dying embers of the Third Reich to Switzerland & freedom in the company of a louche Nazi apparatchik is the last curious escapade in the story of Johnnys adventurous life. " The Dodger" draws upon Dodges voluminous private papers including photographs taken inside prison camps & letters home casting revealing new light on the myth of the Great Escape."
