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.Ordinarily I don't like war movies, but this is definitely one of my favorites.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.
I think it's odd that Reuters filed it under "entertainment," but that's just my opinon.
The link will expire soon...
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.
I'd love to hear what you think of it.
