Colditz .. episode 4 the escape

Smithy and fairweather have made there escape from the castle , they have been riding all night making there way to the Swiss border and freedom , they pull up and hide the bike in the bushes
The border is heavily guarded,  they have little choice..









































The chaps have few options , surprise may get them through...

Good luck smithy... good luck fairweather...






















































































































































































We've done it fairweather....
We can go home...













The end......

It didn't take that long really ,..only a couple of hours or so ..
Dug a trench filled with water , the bridge is the biggest pain to put up without any instructions .

Those Germans are such terrible shots, ...but they do die in such realistic positions! 
Actually are you sure Fairweather didn't get shot in the exchange of fire? He does looks a little "dead" in that last pic.

Didn’t you know the Germans couldn’t shoot for toffee….
Fair weather had quite a busy day , and had decided to have a nap…
I hope this clears up both issues for you..

Phew! Thanks for that! 
Must admit I was  more than a little concerned for Fairweather's health there for a bit!

This post was brilliant first time around and like a B&W sunday afternoon classic war film hasn't dated

Great work Dean .. do you still have access to that patch of ground and did you create your own river for the crossing point ?

Thanks gunner…
This is at a couple of acres of land my dad owns… we used it for our building businesses…
I dug out a trench and filled it with water….simple as that..
