About “The Great Escapers”
The book recounts the true story of the 1944 escape from Stalag Luft III, a German prisoner-of-war camp, where two hundred Allied officers attempted to break out through tunnels. The escape led to the creation of an espionage network that provided intelligence on military operations, with some participants involved in other escape attempts, including the Wooden Horse episode and the Sachsenhausen breakout, while fifty of the escapees were murdered by the Gestapo.
