A few years ago there was a Ch 4 documentary about an excavation of the Stalag Luft III site.
I recall that the archaeologists found a number of the powdered milk tins that were used to dig the tunnels in the Great Escape.
I'm not a fan of dramatised documentaries but, as a whole, it's worth watching.
