Great Escape Documentary..a worthy post !

Thanks to that individual who relinked by question yesterday on the new dvd documentary on The Great Escape. Noted the wonderful information & information given here . Much has been written & researched about this March 1944 event…one of my favorite works on the subject is the book ” The Longest Tunnel ” by Alan Burgess. Yes..the 1963 film was for me an introduction into this chapter in WW II history and in later years I came to learn what really happened with this historical event. The events of that day has many of us here…myself included having much respect & admiration for the character of these men who risked all to continue to fight against their enemy ! To me it mattered not that the real escapers were not GI’s or “YANKS” but men in a difficult situation doing all they could to carry the war against Nazi Germany. Each March 24th…this Yank offers his own personal prayer & salute to those men from many nations responsible for the freedom’s I enjoy today…..& the 50 murdered by the Nazi’s ! Looking forward to getting my dvd & seeing what this production holds !

Remember The 50 !!!!!!!!!!
