Historie

A pictorial history of the infamous, World War II Nazi POW camp for Allied soldiers made famous in Hollywood. In early 1942, the Third Reich opened a maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp for captured Allied airmen in Lower Silesia, now Poland. Called Stalag Luft III, the camp soon came to contain some of the most inventive escapers ever known. The escapers were led by Squadron Leader Roger Bushell, codenamed “Big X.” In March 1944, Bushell masterminded an attempt to smuggle hundreds of POWs down a tunnel built right under the noses of their guards. In fact, 76 Allied airmen clambered into the tunnel and only three made successful escapes. This remarkable breakout would be immortalized in the classic Steve McQueen film, The Great Escape, in which the bravery of the men was rightly celebrated. Behind the scenes photographs from the film are included, along with rare photographs from wartime archives, in this definitive pictorial work on the most famous POW camp of World War II.
