A tunnel opened by Jewish prisoners in Lithuania was discovered long ago, in which the Nazis were planning to put the prisoners in and burn them, but that tunnel was used by Jews to escape, and 40 prisoners managed to escape through it, writes Metro newspaper.
A team of researchers from Israel, America, Canada and Lithuania have used oil detection technology to locate this tunnel, which was used in an effort to leave the Nazis during World War II.
The 35 - foot - long [35 m] tunnel has been found on Mount Pnar, now known as the Paneriai, where Nazis have killed 100,000 people. During the end of the war, prisoners have been sent to the Stutthof concentration camp and are forced to burn dead bodies.
Secretly, they dug the tunnel. 40 prisoners managed to escape through the tunnel in 1944 and reached the partisan forces.
