  2. Do I remember there were several executions after the escape, a completely British effort, with few if any survivors?
    Forgive me for asking; I only have a few minutes this morning.
    Thanks

    1. The flim said Hitler wanted them all executed. They talked him down to fifty. So, fifty were murdered. Two were told to get out of a car and stretch their legs. The bastard shot them in the backs of the head. Least that's what I heard in the film. I think three made it, none of them English. I think those three were from Scandinavia. When you have the time the film is worth watching.
