Romualdas Marcinkus was a pre-war international footballer, and he also wasn't just the only Lithuanian involved in the Great Escape, he was the only Lithuanian in the entire RAF! We were joined by his biographer, Gražina Kristina Sviderskytė, to tell us more about his life, and his tragic end in the aftermath of the Great Escape.For You The War Is Over is a podcast that looks at the real life stories of Prisoner-of-War escapes from the the Second World War.
