Soldiers Relive WWII Great Escape 60 Years On

These were the men who broke out of Nazi Germany’s supposedly escape-proof camp Stalag Luft III on a moonless night in March 1944, creating one of World War II’s most enduring legends and inspiring a classic war film.

The Great Escape itself was 60 years ago but Squadron Leader Jimmy James, one of the 76 who escaped through the tunnel code-named Harry, clearly remembers the moments as he waited underground to scramble to freedom.

Ordinarily I don’t like war movies, but this is definitely one of my favorites.

I think it’s odd that Reuters filed it under “entertainment,” but that’s just my opinon.

The link will expire soon…

  1. Great link. I ran out and got the movie right after I read it. I’ve never seen it before, but it sounds very promising.
