The Great Escape
(Not seen this started elsewhere)
Today is 70th Anniversary of this piece of our history .Fitting commemorations have been held at what remains of Stalag Luft 3 and a piece was broadcast on BBC 6 news this evening.
Am I being churlish in thinking that it was a bit PC of them not to mention the repercussions that were visited on those recaptured . I know Germany is now our friend and ally but it stuck in my craw that these brave men were , for want of a better word , executed. Alleged "crimes" against our ex-enemies , e.g. Dresden , Hamburg & Bomber Command in general are regularly raked over.
Just a thought.
