Thanks very much for the link, Covenantor!
I read "The Great Escape" by Paul Brickhhll as a child and have a copy of the 1964 film in my collection. As a boy, I read every POW escape book I could get my hands on. "The Wooden Horse" by Eric Williams was a favorite.
Getting back to Stalag Luft III, I thought the murder of the fifty was one of the most craven atrocities committed by a regime characterized by countless atrocities. I will post a tribute to Flight Lieutenant Broderick, probably in the Sunday night Hall of Heroes thread of the FR Canteen.
Again thanks very much for the link and Welcome to the Canteen!

I also read both as a school boy. “The Wooden Horse” struck me at the time as being a audaciously clever and bold “in your face” effort.
Best regards,
