May I suggest...

Read the book of the same name by Paul Brickhill. It has a more "documentary" feel to it.

And please, if you do decide to purchase it, make your purchase through the Subsim link.

Read it years ago.

Might i also suggest:

"The Wooden Horse" by Eric Williams which is about another escape from the same camp.

A couple other related non fictions:

"Escape from Colditz" by Pat Reid
"Kriegie" by Kenneth Simonds

Sad to see another go. The Telegraphs obits will be starting to get a bit dull from now onwards.

I can recommend

Stalag Luft III: The Secret Story:
by Arthur A. Durand

I was stationed with Col. Durand in the 1990's and he is a pretty disciplined researcher. His book is not an easy read but well written on the topic.
