About The Great Escape from Stalag Luft III: The memoirs of Bram Vanderstok

‘I am one of those lucky ones who survived the war, and I canremember my emotional experiences, and those of my friends, asif they had happened yesterday. For many of us the horror, theinjustice, and the cruelty can never be forgotten or forgiven; but Ihave tried to write without too much bitterness’ – Bob van der StokOn the night of 24th March 1944, Bob van der Stok wasnumber 18 of 76 men who crawled beyond the barbed wire fenceof Stalag Luft III in Zagan, Poland. The 1963 film, The GreatEscape, was largely based on this autobiography but – with vander Stok’s agreement -filmmakers chose to turn his story into anAustralian character name Sedgewick, played by James Coburn.His memoir sets down his wartime adventures before beingincarcerated in Stalag Luft III and then – with extraordinarydetail – describes various escape attempts which culminated withthe famous March breakout.
