真实的故事:
二战盟军战俘营(Stammlager Luft, or Permanent Camp for Airmen #3):
(was a German Air Force prisoner-of-war camp during World War II
that housed captured air force
personnel.)二战期间大约有8939名盟军机组人员(美国陆军航空队7588名和英国皇家空军1351名)被关押在德国Barth镇以北的Stalag
Luft III战俘营。

盟军战俘计划挖掘的三条秘密通道(
Tom,
Dick 和
Harry )逃走,
但经过11个月的秘密挖掘,只有秘密通道
Harry挖通。 (In January 1943,
Roger Bushell led a plot for a major escape from the camp. The plan
was to dig three deep tunnels, codenamed 'Tom,' 'Dick,' and
'Harry.' Each of the tunnel entrances was carefully selected to
ensure they were undetectable by the camp guards. The tunnel 'Tom'
began in a darkened corner of a hall in one of the buildings.
'Dick's' entrance was carefully hidden in a drain sump in one of
the washrooms. The entrance to 'Harry' was hidden under a stove. In
order to keep the tunnels from being detected by the perimeter
microphones, they were very deep — about 9 metres (30 ft) below the
surface. The tunnels were very small, only two feet square (about
0.37 m²), though larger chambers were dug to house the air pump, a
workshop, and staging posts along each tunnel.
Harry was finally ready in March 1944)
秘密通道和出口
一周后(1944年3月24日),
大逃亡开始。
76个囚犯从德军的集中营中逃出, 但只有3个人最终逃脱。有73人被捕,其中50人被秘密枪决。(The prisoners had to
wait about a week for a moonless night so that they could leave
under the cover of complete darkness. Finally, on Friday, March 24,
the escape attempt began. Unfortunately for the prisoners, the
tunnel had come up short. It had been planned that the tunnel would
reach into a nearby forest, but the first man out emerged just
short of the tree line. Despite this, 76 men crawled through the
tunnel to initial freedom, even through an air raid during which
the camp's (and the tunnel's) electric lights were shut off.
Finally, at 5 AM on March 25, the 77th man was seen emerging from
the tunnel by one of the guards. Out of the 76 men only 3 escaped.
Fifty men were killed and the rest were captured and sent
back.)
