I agree with that. This film is one of the examples when the adaptation appears to be better than the book it was based on. I read the novel by Josef Martin Bauer some time ago, unfortunately after watching the movie, and for me it was simply unbelievable. The film makes the story more plausible.
It's worth noting that some people claim that this particular escape never took place and was only made up by the author plus someone else.
