The Game That Helped Prisoners Escape (1941) 🎲🔓 #WWII #History #1941 #SpyHacks #IconicTalesBR

1941. British intelligence devised a brilliant way to smuggle escape tools to Allied prisoners of war trapped inside Nazi camps. They partnered with the manufacturers of the board game Monopoly to create special wartime editions. Hidden inside the cardboard game boards were ultra-thin silk escape maps, tiny metal files, and working compasses. They even included real German currency hidden beneath the play money. Since the Nazis allowed Red Cross care packages containing games for morale, these rigged Monopoly sets successfully helped hundreds of trapped soldiers escape to freedom.
