However, his fate took a dark turn when he was captured and held captive at Stalag Luft III, a German prisoner-of-war camp designed specifically for high-ranking officers. Despite the tough circumstances, Johnny remained patience and determined to escape. The camp had three potential escape routes, each named Dick, Tom, and Harry. However, the escape attempt did not go according to plan, and the tunnels collapsed, leading to the capture of 73 men who faced a brutal future. Despite the odds, Johnny was one of the lucky few who managed to escape back to England, along with only two other brave soldiers. The construction of the escape routes alone was a tiring , requiring the work of 600 men over a year’s worth of time.
