Human beings, especially in situations of great desperation, are capable of things considered darn near impossible. Today I came across this interactive 'diagram' of an escape from a German POW Camp during WW II. It describes in interactive detail the perseverance, ingenuity, and courage it took to dig a hole 30 feet deep and 300 feet long, in order that 76 POW's might escape from Stalag Luft III in the 1940's. Check it out.

As a sidenote, seeing something like this reminds me of the even greater lengths God himself has gone to to save us. Our salvation must be more improbable and humanly inconceivable, even than this. If it wasn't then we wouldn't have needed God to do anything. We could have waited for some incredible men, just like the ones in this true story. True stories like this remind me of the flabbergasting truth that God, in His love, has rescue in mind for each of us. Rescue from slavery, oppression, fear, and desperation. Not unlike this (and certainly greater) than even this great escape listed above.
