The great escape


"It is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape."



"Everyone here in this room is living on borrowed time. By rights we should all be dead! The only reason that God allowed us this extra ration of life is so we can make life hell for the Hun... In North Compound we are concentrating our efforts on completing and escaping through one master tunnel. No private-enterprise tunnels allowed. Three bloody deep, bloody long tunnels will be dug - Tom, Dick, and Harry. One will succeed!"



Am i wrong or is this story a kind of exemplary cooperation work...?

April 30, 1945
Suicide Of Adolf Hitler
The failure of the German attack on the USSR and the U.S. entry in the Second World War, Hitler placed an insurmountable position

The April 30, 1945 , hidden in a bunker under the Chancellery in Berlin , Adolf Hitler ended his life. That he was architect of the Third Reich and author of heinous crimes against human rights , chose suicide as a method of ingesting a cyanide capsule . The day before , in the bunker , he had married Eva Braun , his mistress for years, and there he received the news of the execution of Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini and his mistress , and public humiliation of their bodies . The belief was that if caught your destination would be the same as that of Mussolini , coupled with the obvious military defeat of the German army , would eventually drive him to suicide. Excluding acts of war, the Nazis had driven was the cause of at least thirteen million deaths.

Today is 20 years since the death of Senna.
