The Only German POW Who Escaped North America - And Made It Home

He escaped British captivity. He escaped Canada. He crossed into the United States in the dead of winter, and won a legal battle no one thought he could. Franz von Werra’s story is one of the most extraordinary escapes of World War II. Shot down during the Battle of Britain, he refused to accept captivity. From POW camps in Britain to a prison train in Canada, from a frozen river crossing to American courtrooms, von Werra pushed every limit to return home. He became the only German prisoner of war to escape North America and make it back to Nazi Germany. But survival isn’t the same as victory. Six months after his return, von Werra died in a routine patrol accident over the North Sea. The man who defeated borders, guards, and empires couldn’t outrun fate. This documentary traces his entire journey, the escapes, the legal battles, the propaganda, and the irony of an ending that made it all seem pointless. An extraordinary story of determination, risk, and the thin line between triumph and futility. #ww2 #worldwar2 #germanpows
