JPuente54 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 This year arks the 77th anniversary of the The Great Escape. It was a great attempt; and, something that really upset the Germans. It also had a very sad result in the murders of so many of them. The movie is still a great story and accurate in many of its details. What many don't know is that a local Chicago TV celebrity was a prisoner at Stalag Luft 3. Ray Rayner was a prisoner there.I believe that @72modeler, @Corsairfoxfouruncle, @Procopius,and a couple of others will remember him as man who performed on WGN-TV, Channel 9 in Chicago. I do remember an interview where he said everyone in the camp had a job to help the others escape. If one has the 2 disc DVD, or the Bluray; the extra/bonus features are worth watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes have the dvd and he was a local celebrity for many years. I can remember seeing him and know many that met him on Bozo’s circus show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Just wonder if this is a modelling issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a decade before my time, I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
