Great Escapes #6: Across the Minefields

June, 1942 - Libya. Free French Officer Susan Travers was one of the few women on the frontlines in Africa during World War II. After the Germans surrounded the military camp of Bir Hakeim, a shocking order was issued. The French troops were to break out in the middle of the night - crossing dangerous minefields and enemy territory - to reach their British allies. And Officer Travers would be leading the charge. With the lives of thousands of military men at risk, stakes were high. But Officer Travers didn't face rejection and break gender barriers to back down now. Her country need her to fight. And win.
