The Great Escape - Ivo Tonder

Ivo Tonder was one of the few Great Escapers from an occupied country to survive the experience, but the Great Escape was far from his only escape, before, during and after the war! We were joined by his daughter, Petra, who told us more about his life, and her own experiences of escaping Communist Czechoslovakia with her father.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. If you would like to follow us, you can find us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram or if you would prefer to email us, we can also be reached on FYTWIOpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Om Podcasten

'For You The War Is Over' is a podcast all about the history of Second World War Prisoner-of-War escapes.First and foremost, these are true adventure stories; tales of human courage and endeavour.In each episode we look at a new POW escape and the story behind how they were captured, what their lives were like in the POW camps, and how they escaped. We also look at the lengths they went to in order to prepare for their escapes, and the challenges they faced and overcame in pursuit of their freedom.We therefore also try to look at who they were, what drove them, how their escape efforts reflected their personality, and what the individual’s character brought to their own unique escape ‘style’.
