It was 75 years ago Sunday night and into Monday morning that 200 allied prisoners began the “Great Escape” from the Germany Prisoner of War Camp Stalag Luft 3 in Poland.
All were aircrew members and all were in a tunnel named “Harry.”
Only 75 would get away before the tunnel was discovered. 50 of the escapees would be executed by the Gestapo on Hitler’s orders.
Only three 3 would make it to freedom
Hollywood captured the exploits in the 1963 Academy Award nominated film “The Great Escape”.
