Last of the 'Great Escapers' dies
The last of the 'Great Escapers' has passed away. Shot down in 1940 and captured. Escaped from Stalag Luft III and then re-captured. Was lucky to have not been one of the fifty excecuted by the Gestapo on Hitler's orders possibly due to his name. Gave evidence to the RAF Special Investigation Branch who worked to bring the killers to justice.
RiP Sir.
