“This Day in World War Two” continues with a look at March 24, 1943.
On this day in history, “The Great Escape” happened as seventy-six Allied PoWs escaped from Stalag Luft III in Sagan. Of the seventy-six, seventy were eventually recaptured and three escaped to freedom. The incident was later dramatized in a movie by the same name.
