In December 1944, twenty-five German prisoners of war escaped from Camp Papago Park near Phoenix, Arizona, using a 178-foot tunnel dug beneath the American guards. These were not ordinary soldiers — they were elite German naval officers and U-boat sailors who planned one of the most audacious prison breaks ever attempted on U.S. soil.
This video tells the full story of the Great Papago Escape: how the tunnel was built under solid desert caliche, how the prisoners planned to reach Mexico via a river that no longer flowed, and how the American manhunt unfolded across the Arizona desert.
No gunfire. No bloodshed. Just engineering, desperation, and sheer nerve.
A forgotten World War II story that sounds impossible — but really happened.
