After expending enormous resources constantly recapturing Allied POWs, the Nazi German armed forces relocated the most determined to Stalag Luft III, a new, maximum-security prisoner-of-war camp overseen by Luftwaffe Colonel von Luger. The prisoners create the “X” Organization, led by “Big X,” RAF Squadron Leader (and former Gestapo prisoner) Roger Bartlett. With the tacit approval of British Group Captain Ramsey—the most senior officer of any nationality in the camp and thus the de facto leader of the prisoners—Bartlett suggests an audacious plan: to tunnel beneath the camp’s fence into the forest and free 250 men. He realizes that, realistically, the majority of them will be recaptured—but the Germans will have to divert significant personnel away from the front to conduct the search, which will aid the Allied war effort. The workers form groups and work on three tunnels at the same time: “Tom”, “Dick”, and “Harry”. Bob Hendley, an American Flight Lieutenant, can locate anything, from a camera to identity cards. Sedgwick, an Australian flying officer, creates tools such as picks and bellows for pumping air into the passageways. Danny Welinski and Willie Dickes, Flight Lieutenants, are in command of digging the tunnels. Flight Lieutenant Andy MacDonald, Bartlett’s second in command, collects and distributes information. The Royal Navy’s Lieutenant Commander Eric Ashley-Pitt devises a means of concealing dirt from the tunnels from the guards. Flight Lieutenant Griffith scavenges fabric to make civilian outfits for the POWs to wear after their escape. Dai Nimmo and Haynes are in charge of diverting the guards’ attention away from the camp in order to carry out the more dangerous portions of the operation undetected. Security is overseen by Sorren. Flight Lieutenant Colin Blythe is in charge of forging documents. The prisoner choir, led by Flight Lieutenant Dennis Cavendish, who also surveys the tunnel’s path, drowns out the work noise.

On June 20, 1943, Bartlett requests that USAAF Captain Virgil Hilts, a notoriously prolific escapee who is repeatedly punished with solitary confinement in the “cooler,”[9] assist in the escape by breaking through the barbed wire, scouting the area, and then allowing himself to be recaptured so he can draw a map for the X Organization. Hilts is adamantly opposed. Hilts makes pals with Scottish RAF Flying Officer Archie Ives during his first stretch in the cooler at the camp. But you shouldn’t waste any more time and start this The Great Escape quiz. As “Tom” approaches completion, Bartlett orders “Dick” and “Harry” to be shut off. Hilts, Hendley, and American Second Lieutenant Goff concoct moonshine from a home-made still and enjoy the Fourth of July with the entire camp after hoarding potatoes from the allotments. The guards find “Tom” in the midst of the celebration. As the POWs express their dismay, a despondent Ives rushes up the barbed wire barrier and is shot dead. Hilts, shaken by Ives’ demise, reconsiders. He flees the camp and then allows himself to be captured, returning with reconnaissance information on the nearby terrain. Bartlett switches the inmates’ efforts to “Harry”. After several tunnel collapses, Danny snaps and tells Willie that, despite his extensive tunneling expertise, he is claustrophobic. He gets dangerously close to breaking through the fence, but Willie saves him by talking him down at the last second.

Blythe learns he is going blind as a result of progressive myopia;[note 1] Hendley volunteers to be Blythe’s guide during the getaway. Also, you will find out which character are you in this The Great Escape quiz. The tunnel’s final section is finished on the scheduled night of March 24, 1944. The tunnel, however, falls 20 feet (6 meters) shy of the treeline. The prisoners use an air raid blackout to cautiously climb out of the hole one by one and make their way to the woodland, guided by Hilts tugging on a rope to indicate when the coast is clear. 76 inmates flee, including Bartlett, MacDonald, Hendley, Blythe, Hilts, Ashley-Pitt, Welinski, Dickes, Sedgwick, Cavendish, Nimmo, and Haynes. Cavendish, on the other hand, slips and falls after exiting the tunnel, attracting the notice of a guard. An impatient Griffith sticks his head out before Hilts indicates the all-clear and is quickly captured as the guard stands next to the hole, otherwise oblivious.

About the quiz

The 76 POWs flee in various ways. Cavendish hitches a ride in a truck but is taken straight to the authorities at a nearby castle, where he meets Haynes, who is disguised as a German soldier and has also been caught. Hendley and Blythe steal a plane to fly over the Swiss frontier, but the engine fails and they crash-land; Blythe is shot and dies, while Hendley is apprehended and apprehended. Also, you must try to play this The Great Escape quiz. Hilts steals a motorcycle and rides it to the German-Swiss border, where German soldiers chase him. He starts jumping barbed-wire fences, but troops shoot out the tire of his bike, and he is apprehended. Ashley-Pitt is shot and killed at a train station after creating a distraction (by murdering Priessen, a Gestapo officer who recognized Barlett) in order to save MacDonald and Barlett, but they are recaptured after a Gestapo officer tricks them into speaking English. On Adolf Hitler’s orders, the Gestapo executed 48 of the prisoners, including Bartlett, MacDonald, Cavendish, and Haynes, under the pretext that they were attempting to flee, bringing the total death to 50. Only three POWs are able to flee. Welinski and Dickes steal a rowboat and travel downstream to a port before boarding a merchant ship headed for Sweden. Sedgwick steals a bicycle and then boards a train to France, where he is helped by the French Resistance to reach Spain. Hendley, Nimmo, and nine other people have been returned to the colony. When Hendley learns of the deaths, he wonders if the cost was worth it, and Ramsey informs him it depends on his perspective. As Hilts returns, Von Luger is relieved of command and sent to the cooler, where he starts planning another escape.
