Maybe I just missed something, but what happened to the plan to escape via the tunnels? Was it because the tunnel led to behind the buildings, which is exactly where someone else got caught? I just didn't really catch what ever happened to that plan.

they had to move therefore the tunnel plan had to be abandoned. they tried to tell the british but was only told they were very kind.
shareThey dug the tunnel all the way through to the end, and were waiting for night to escape. But that afternoon, without warning, they were all moved to a different camp. They try to let the new prisoners know about the tunnel so they can use it, but the one they meet doesn't speak French.
They handled their disappointment with such a detached humor, it was hard for me to follow at first. In the same situation, I would have been a basket case. <g>
it was a pretty funny moment.

Well it wasnt a risk-free plan to escape through the tunnel. If I remember right, there was a scene where someone else was caught while trying to escape out of a spot close to where they were planning on exiting. They must have had some second thoughts about escaping after that, and being forced to ditch the plan might have been relieving in some ways.
shareYes, others have explained what happens with the tunnel, but it's a very strange part of the plot. To spend such time on that and then for it to go nowhere is odd. Those things happen in real life, but they are peculiar in movies. This tunnel is of course similar to the tunnel in the Great Escape. Also note that in A Man Escaped the escape plan was almost negated by a similar incident, in which the prisoner would have been moved from his cell, necessitating him to depart promptly.
