work progressed slowly over the summer. Dowse and James had worked for only a few hours each day to avoid lengthy, suspicious absences. Peter Churchill decided to take no part as he believed, given his SOE background, and the fact that he was not in uniform when captured, that he was certain to be shot if caught escaping. Johnnie Dodge was anxious to help but, as he had been billeted in the hut where Spence and the other Irishmen and Russians lodged, it was decided that his involvement in tunnel work might compromise security. The dig was arduous and risky. To minimise the amount of earth to be disposed of, they kept the tunnel dimensions just large enough for one man to wriggle through at a time. There was no light and little air in the tunnel and there was a constant fear that in a collapse they would suffocate. Increasingly frequent bombing raids nearby increased this risk. However, it held up and was eventually deemed of sufficient length to reach their intended exit point in the unoccupied compound.
