As I understand it, McQueen’s character was added to make the movie more appealing to American audiences. His exploits in the film are largely fictionalized, unlike those of the British prisoners.

"As a member of the R.A.F., Donald Pleasence flew sixty missions over Europe in World War II before being shot down and spending 1944-45 in a P.O.W. camp, where he was tortured by sadistic Nazi guards. Undoubtedly, this real life horror helped add to the authinticity of his performances as a P.O.W. in John Sturges' THE GREAT ESCAPE and a tortured kidnapped President of the United States in John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK."
