Description
We have all seen the movie The Great Escape. And as a result, we all think we know the story of this legendary mass breakout of prisoners-of-war from Stalag Luft III, deep in the heart of the Third Reich, in March 1944. But do we really? In this highly thought-provoking and entertaining talk, Guy Walters will challenge the myths and preconceptions of this celebrated wartime tale.
