In the heart of Nazi Germany, 76 pilots – British, Canadian, Norwegian and French prisoners—prisoners of a Luftwaffe prison camp—escape. The tunnel used for their escape was built in the greatest secrecy, right under the noses of their German captors. This epic, immortalized in the 1963 film "The Great Escape" by John Sturges and starring Steve McQueen, has been seen around the world. But the true story of these men far surpasses the fictionalized narrative of Hollywood. Among the witnesses featured in this film is Jack Lyon, one of the last survivors of this adventure. 👉 Also see on Our History: Liberty Lily Bomber: Star of US Propaganda?    • Bombardier Liberty Lily : Star de la propa...   Brittany 1940: When Breton Independence Flirted with Nazism    • Bretagne 1940 : Quand l’indépendance breto...   Churchill Versus Hitler: One Man's Fight    • Video   👉 Discover our playlist dedicated to the History of the Second World War    • Playlist   "THE TRUE STORY OF THE GREAT ESCAPE" Directed by Anna Kwak-Siatelli All rights reserved #GreatEscape #SecondWorldWar #HistoryDocumentary #WWII #PrisonersOfWar #StalagLuftIII
