Screenshot from p. 38 of my book 'The Evolution Underground: Burrows, Bunkers, and the Marvelous Subterranean World Beneath Our Feet,' 2017, Pegasus Books) about World War II escape tunnels:

"Perhaps the most famous of escape tunnel feats was in 1944, when 76 Allied soldiers burrowed their way out of the World War II Stalag Luft III (German) prisoner of war camp in Poland, a breakout that later inspired the 1963 movie 'The Great Escape.' Scientists also recently uncovered physical evidence for another World War II example of people using a tunnel to free themselves from Nazi oppressors. In 1943-44, about 80 Jews from the Stuffhoff concentration camp near Vilnius, Lithuania, were forced to conceal war crimes from approaching Soviet troops by unearthing and burning thousands of bodies from mass graves in the Ponary "killing fields." Because the laborers were kept in a pit, they took advantage of this topographic low, going in to get out. For 76 days, using just their hands and spoons they found with exhumed bodies, they secretly dug a 35-meter (115 foot) long tunnel into the side of the pit. On April 14, 1944 (the last day of Passover), about half of them fled through their hand-hewn conduit. Although most were caught and killed, a dozen made it to the nearby forest and liberation, living to tell of the atrocities they had experienced. In June 2016, an international team of geoscientists and archaeologists, using geophysical tools to scan the ground in and around the pit, detected the subsurface tunnel and finally documented the escapees' traces, evidence of their extreme determination and survival."
