NOTE FOR NEW VIEWERS OF THIS THREAD...
Please note - before reading further - this thread 'stalled badly' as I inadvertently 'overstretched myself' - due to a massive attack of over optimism. Hopefully it still makes for an interesting read as it has turned into the 'true' story of The Great Escape - but it is no longer a WIP thread...
This month sees the 75th anniversary of THE GREAT ESCAPE. Not the movie – but the actual escape of seventy six men from Stalag Luft III located near the Polish town of Sagan. Of the seventy six only three men made it home safely. Twe
