Hard to find a man who is so well known around the world and is a champion, yet so humble and down to earth. You're a legend Guy!

My father (R I P) was in Stalag Luft 3 at the time of the escape but not on the escape wing. They knew something was going on but didnt know what. After the end of the war they were given large prints of drawings made by one of the "inmates" at the time, now in my nephews possession. Later on as the germans retreated he was on "The long march" where if you didnt keep up (and many couldnt) they were shot, luckily for me he made it back.

Love how the date on the memorial is still unfinished “1939-194”

Wow just wow. You know this video is getting mad respect. Been up for almost three hours. Only 2 dislikes neither are mine and only 16 comments. I learned so much about this subject in the 14 minute video then I have in watching hours of other videos. Like I would have never known that it was a normal thing for ppl to be walking down that path in the middle of the night and so many other lil details. And as much as I hate to say this. But mad respect to that one German soldier ( not calling him a nazi cuz of what he did and how he felt about it he was only doing what he was told to stay alive himself ) who paid out of his pocket for that Memorial.
And as for Guy you can tell of humble of a person he is by how much he didn't

The Colditz method was the best way I reckon. Hide two blokes inside the camp somewhere, and bring em food and water for say a week. The guards think they have escaped so after the week is up you swap them for another two blokes (Because hiding in a hole or tiny space for a week is all anyone could stand) and continue until they assume the men have gotten away . THEN you have two bloke actually escape and bring the two out of hiding so the count of men in there stays the same. Those two blokes will be able to escape easier as there won't be any alarms raised.

Ex girlfriend of mine was the great niece of one of the 50. Flight Lieutenant Patrick Langford. C/1631. Prisoner No. 710. He was the "trapfuehrer" responsible for ensuring that the stove on its tiled piece of removable flooring was back in place over the tunnel whenever the guards were nearby.

Full respect to you Guy martin I tip my hat to you sir. Rest in peace and thank you so much for are freedom, to all the men and women who gave everything for us.

My father was in the north compound. He was a "penguin." He was among the next five to go down the hole when the tunnel was discovered and had to burn his forged papers before the guards came into the hut. One of his best friends was among the 50 who were executed.

What a story and what a commitment. Rest in piece soldiers.

One of my fav films. V interesting. Guy, if you ever stop racing for whatever reason. You MUST become the new Fred dibnah, you have the passion for engineering and love learning new things. Your very likeable and easy to watch working. One cool fella 😎

Tony & susan here, Thank you, vary powerful video. Semper Fi Guy

Such a lot of information about the escape that couldn't be included in the film. We saw the sanitised version and it's seeing clips like this that fill in many blanks. Fascinating, informative and, ultimately tragic.

Great video, I became a fan of yours due to your racing. The more I learn about you the more impressed I am. I watch you climb Pikes Peak at a record speed. Your Isle of Man runs absolutely phenomenal. As a IBA rider you inspire me all the way.
But as a man you are such a credit to the sport. It's videos like this that really show the good side of you. I've learned a lot of little things from You.
Thank you. For being you.
We need more people like you in the world.

We will remember them! We Will Remember Them!!!

Love the content you post guy! #LEGEND

[angelreading]

Guy you are a real man of substance, emotions, true respect and without ego, that is why we like you as a National treasure, there are few of you around who we can relate to just like Fred Dibnah was, the presentation in this video was excellent and for those who made it escaping truly remarkable, as for the murders it brings home the fight against tyranny with evil dictators in this world.
