Today marks the anniversary of the murder by the SS of 50 POW's who were part of the Great Escape. Most of their graves are unmarked. There still stands a memorial at the former Stalag Luft III, built with the camp Commandants permission by the remaining prisoners.

Couldn't this be moved to my 'WW2 PoW stuff' thread?

I never made the connection as I rarely get to watch a movie all the way through or miss parts.

I looked at some of the content of the thread you refer to and especially the Lego clip and decided the memories of those brave men were better kept here.
