About

Dissecting History and Politics - creator from Switzerland. I will make mistakes in my videos, the hope is is that if I provide transparency to my research process and sources, people can make up their own minds after the fact. Btw, the name IMPERIAL just comes from when I used to play Skyrim - it definitely is not an endorsement of imperialism lmao.

This is the story of the Stalag Luft III escape, one which covers the ingenuity and striking organisational qualities of the inmates and the tragic aftermath of their attempted prison break. Thanks to @Podel for modelling the Stalag Luft III diorama seen in this video.
