The Men of the Great Escape

Résumé du livre

Who, in fact, was The SBO'? Who was 'Big X'? Who were the 'Tunnel Kings', 'The Forger', 'The Surveyor' and 'The Manufacturer'? In this unique book, Charles Rollings identifies almost every one of the men who entered North Compound from the time it opened on 29 March 1943 and the night of the 'Great Escape' on 24 March 1944 - British, Australians, Canadians, New Zealanders, Czechs, Poles, Danes, Norwegians, Dutchmen, Belgians, Frenchmen, Greeks, Lithuanians, and Americans; Air Force, Fleet Air Arm and Army; those who assisted in the escape, and those who did not.
