During World War 2, Camp Papago Park in Phoenix, AZ was a POW camp that held German prisoners of war. In December 1944, 25 of those prisoners escaped, leading to one of the largest manhunts in U.S. history. The Germans dug a 178 foot tunnel in order to escape, and today there is a monument marking where the tunnel exit was that is almost unnoticeable unless you are looking for it. All the escapees were recaptured or surrendered within a month. In this video we find the monument, talk about the camp's history and the escape by 25 Nazis, and look at the area today.
The WWII Escape Tunnel Monument is located near the intersection of North 66th Street & East Oak Street in Scottsdale, AZ.
