This is the true story of the men who hunted them down.The mass breakout of seventy-six Allied airmen from the infamous Stalag Luft III became one of the greatest tales of World War II, immortalized in the film The Great Escape.

When the nature of these killings came to light, Churchills government swore to pursue justice at any cost. A revolving team of military police, led by squadron leader Francis P.
