How Did a Simple Board Game Help POWs Escape in WWII?

Описание: This video is about a secret operation during World War Two where British intelligence, MI9, used the board game Monopoly to help Allied prisoners of war escape from German, Italian, and Japanese camps. Life in these camps was incredibly difficult with hunger, loneliness, and strict guards. MI9, led by Christopher Clayton Hutton, cleverly hid maps, compasses, and real money inside Monopoly games, disguising escape tools in plain sight. They sent these games through fake charities to avoid suspicion, providing prisoners with the means to navigate to freedom and tying up enemy resources in the process. It was a risky but ingenious plan that offered a glimmer of hope to those trapped behind enemy lines.
