Thanks for starting this thread, DFG.
Squadron Leader Douglas Bader would have also been captured, undoubtedly, (and likely executed)had he not been transferred away from this camp for being so intransigent. Though legless before the War from an airplane accident, he still became a decorated fighter pilot and was central to the plans for this escape.
Bader got transferred to “Der Sonderlager” or Colditz for his escape effort. Impressive for a man with tin legs.
