How British Soldiers Used The Game ‘Monopoly’ To Escape Nazi Prison Camps In WWII
FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR BOARD GAMES IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN, UNDOUBTEDLY, THE REAL ESTATE-INSPIRED MONOPOLY. THOUGH IT ROSE TO POPULARITY AFTER THE PARKER BROTHERS RELEASED IT IN THE 1930S, THE SUCCESSFUL GAME WAS ACTUALLY INVENTED BY A WOMAN NAMED ELIZABETH MAGIE, AND IT WAS ORIGINALLY DUBBED “THE LANDLORD’S GAME.”
WHAT NEITHER MAGIE NOR PARKER BROTHERS COULD HAVE PREDICTED, HOWEVER, WAS HOW CRITICAL A ROLE THE GAME WOULD PLAY FOR SOLDIERS IN WORLD WAR II. FAR FROM JUST A WAY TO PASS THE TIME, MONOPOLY WAS UTILIZED FOR A MORE SECRETIVE—AND BRILLIANT—REASON BY BRITISH POWS IN GERMAN PRISON CAMPS.

Music is just way too much
Stop putting the trash music in the video, it just ruins it.

Why techno music. Its a ww2 topic not a dj session.
mi6, not mi9
if i was in a camp and gotten this package, i wouldnt have tried to escape with the maps, i wouldve gotten the Get out of Jail Free Card and gone to the guards saying i would like to use my card
Good video but the music ruins it
