So terrible. The immense bravery of these men will live forever, though.

Imagine being those 3 that survived. Talk about survivors guilt

Steve McQueen only agreed to be in the film The Great Escape because he was allowed to ride his motorcycle as part of the film.

76 escaped, but really 50 died and 3 escaped. Great math!

[Santiago-wxry]

This was my favorite movie growing up, 10/10 would recommend

A similar escape happened in Sobibor camp, there's a film from 2018 explaining it all

Iron man if he didn't make a suit but rather a tunnel

Grew up watching this movie, and I’m only 16, it’s 3 hours long but if your a movie and history lover. Definitely a recommendation

That movie is easily one of the best of all time. For the fifty 🫡

I saw the great escape the move a few years ago

I've read a short version of the story.
It's called "tunnel to freedom"

One of those who escaped was my grandfather. He continued on his mission to Italy.

[mystery_mangaming]

3 people escaped, and its called the great escape

[jayclouds]

Why is this called the great escape when they literally had like a 1.5 percent success rate?

[swal]

you should make a video about Witold Pilecki a real hero

[NothingMaster]

That was an unacceptable price to pay.

[MourningNihilist]

Was that last bit in the movie? Not watched it just yet
