Tdansmith 3259 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Monopoly games really were used in WWII to help people escape. Allied intelligence sent packages to their POWs that featured clandestine escape kits, which included tools like compasses, metal files, money, and, most importantly, maps all disguised as parts of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdansmith 3259 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 opps ! I just realised that I never actually posted the film I was watching last night and instead I posted some random fact related to the film. The film was " A Call To Spy" and it was very good btw.

Monkeys Fist 42428 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Four innocent young lads, a few rough, bearded types, and an old lad with a weathered pole all come together over a ring. There’s a one-eyed tower of power too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33182 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 The Arctic Convoy. A Norwegian film about a particular merchant navy convoy to Murmansk during the war which was ordered to scatter and got into a load of trouble. Love maritime stuff and this is a more than decent action film. It's only got a 6.5 rating I noticed which I can only put down to it being subtitled and the people marking it down expecting to see something more American based with US actors? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn’t they use Cluedo? That way they could’ve sent them guns, daggers, rope, etc. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33182 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 They could've sent them bicycles so they could play chicken with the German guards by cycling towards the gates then turning around last minute but actually riding through when the guards got bored and started doing something else. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just to fool the guards, they could approach the gates along the fence with the exit to freedom on the left, indicate right when they get there but actually turn left on the sly. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
