00:00Lieutenant Norton, United States Navy Air Force.
00:07Lieutenant Norton, you will understand, this is a camp for naval officers.
00:11You will be treated with respect to which your rank entitles you.
00:15Well, that'll be a change.
00:17Oh, you have a complaint?
00:18Yes, I have.
00:19Why have I been kept out in that cooler for a month?
00:22That's a formality.
00:23It's against the convention.
00:25I'm a registered prisoner of war.
00:26Six weeks ago, I was interrogated then.
00:29Oh, it's over now?
00:32You will be comfortable here.
00:35In other camps, they always want to get away.
00:37Here, everybody is content.
00:40♪♪
01:06You have to be careful with that man.
01:09Captain, an escape attempt.
01:10What's that?
01:11We've found a tunnel. Come on.
01:15What's the matter?
01:16No war over?
01:17You will be taking a Captain Maddox, a senior British officer here.
01:21Where is the tunnel?
01:23Here, on the left.
01:24Come on.
01:25Get the others out of the front camp.
01:28Down, down.
01:29Well, that's that.
01:30Did they get out all right?
01:31Yes, sir, just about.
01:32It was quite a fall.
01:33What about the gear?
01:34It's all stale, sir.
01:35The prettiest wiring job I ever did.
01:38Tell them they'll never make it, sir.
01:44Too bad, eh, Henry?
01:46Yes, sir.
01:47I reckon that's approximately 950 man-hours down the drain.
01:50Quite a fly-by, sir.
01:52Yes, well, they'll find the entrance now, all right.
01:55Track it back from there.
