When I first saw the movie "The Great Escape," I was 15. I really liked Steve McQueen

3. A good book is The Longest Tunnel by Alan Burgess which I read one time.

Amazon blurb:

The escape of 76 Allied POWs from Sagan, Stalag Luft III, on March 24, 1944 was accomplished by a 350-foot tunnel hand dug under the prison camp grounds. This dramatic narration of the frustrations, dangers, fears, and tensions is based on previously unavailable camp records and interviews with survivors. The POW's freedom was short-lived with Hitler ordering their recapture and execution. The postwar search for the Gestapo who carried out the fatal orders recounts the fate that met the international group of officers and crewmen. Paul Brickhill's Great Escape (Fawcett, 1986) also relates the tunnel escape efforts but is not as complete.
