GE Theater when hosted by Ronald Reagan produced The Great Escape story in one of its hour long shows of that series. Which came out a year before or earlier then that famous cycle ride. It was much closer to facts than the film. It related no American participation .
Hope some FR looks and links it up it’s worth a look.

If i recall in the real story quite a few Americans were involved at first but the Americans were move out the came before the escape... in the movie you only had two US servicemen Steve McQueen and the other guy that was a bit part... the James Garner character was American but he was in the RAF service.. so only three Americans total in the movie
