And then it's action!Fast and silent and hopefullyunnoticed—get out, use the localcountryside, use your disguise, usevehicles and transportation, and useevery ounce of strength to get backhome. But in some situations you mustsmash your way out using anythingavailable—guns, grenades, or even asteam train!

Using This GuideIn addition to a full walkthrough of the game, thisguide features numerous helpful Tips, Notes, andCautions that will aid you in your quest to free thecrew from the merciless clutches of the Third Reich.

TIPSTips are simple, bite-sized bits of info that give youthat little extra edge as you mow down Germanthugs and generally wreak as much havoc aspossible. Tips are something along the lines of:"Changing into that Nazi uniform now will save yousome valuable time later."

NOTESNotes point out items or locations of interest, ormake a point of indicating important locales or torelate some imperative bit of information. Forexample, a Note might point out the best place tohide while engaged in a nasty firefight.

CAUTIONSOf the three items enumerated here, Cautions are,by far, the most important and the ones you shouldpay the most heed. While notes and tips generally

point out optional information, Cautions arethere to keep you alive. Forexample, Cautions always pointout the start of a timed event or

an event that could, in alllikelihood, end with your demise if

you make a single misstep. Payvery close attention to Cautions!

The Real Great EscapeScattered throughout the walkthroughare sidebars that give you an idea ofwhat it was like in those POW campsduring World War II.

Fun Things to TryEXPLOSIVE HIGH JUMPFind a group of explosive barrels that are next toeach other. There is a stack of about five in "StruggleIn The Mountains" by the hut where the sniper rifle ishidden. Stand on the barrels, aim your gun at thebarrels below you and fire. If you get it right, you canlaunch yourself right over the hut roof!

TRAIN SLAMStand up on the train roof just as a bridge comespast and it will knock you off the train. But did youknow this can also happen to the enemy guards?When you're gun fighting on the train roof, distractthe guards (by firing near them) as the bridgecomes up. See how many you can fool intoconcrete oblivion.

MINEFIELD BULL FIGHTINGWhen driving on the motorbikethrough the minefield in the finallevel, stop and get off your bike in themiddle of the minefield. Your goal is tomove around and lure all the chasingbikers into the mines until there are noneleft. Alternatively, stop when there is abike and a car nearby, and try and lurethe biker into the path of the car!

SIDECAR SURPRISEDismount from your motorbikeduring the final two levels,and if you knock an enemyguard from their bike,you can steal it! Knockan enemy from themotorbike with sidecar(with a crafty punch),and you can drive thisunique vehicle, and trytaking the final jumpsin it!

Shadow WarriorIf there's one thingyou must learnabout The GreatEscape, it's that thevast majority of thegame is played fromthe shadows. Whilesome missions are fairly straightforward run 'n' gunaffairs, the vast majority are won through stealthand subterfuge, not raw, unfettered force (thoughthat can come in handy on occasion).

THE SNEAK 'N' STRANGLEFirst, master thebasic chokemaneuver. This isyour single mostimportant move.

Stealthily approach…

To execute a successful strangle hold, enterStealth mode, thenvery quietly creepup behind a foe until you're withinstriking distance.

Wait for the signal.

You know you're there when the Hands iconappears, denoting that with a pull of the Attack

trigger, you'll latchon like a vampiredesperate for blood.

You say asphyxiate, Isay strangle the lifeoutta him!

As soon as you've grabbed hold of a foe's neck,keep tapping the Attack button until the energy bar

fills up and your foegoes down.

Say hello to thesandman.

Once he's out cold, dump the body by pressingAction. Keep in mind that it doesn't do to just dumpthe body out in the open where anybody can see it.

Lure and LassoThis tactic can be very helpful in any of the prisoncamp missions to pare down the number of guardslurking about, allowing you to go about yourbusiness without fear of reprisal.

What's behind doornumber one?

First off, approach any nearby doorway. Peerthrough the keyhole and verify that a guard islurking nearby.

Open sesame!

primagames.c

om

If you spot a guard pacing back and forth onroutine patrol, note where he's moving to and from.When he startsmoving away fromyou, push open the door.

Curiosity killed theprison guard.

Door open, immediately head a few steps backwithin the building. Wait here and allow the guard to

come in to seewhat's what…

All's (not gonna be) well.

Before long, satisfied that nothing is amiss (howlittle he knows), he turns around and heads back

outside. Time to putthe kibosh on thiscurious cat.

No more air for you!

When his back is turned, send this fellow tosleepy land. Walk up behind him, wait for theStrangle icon, thenhave at it.

Quoth the raven:Nevermore.

Basic Gameplay TipsFIRST AID

Throughout thegame you find firstaid kits. What youmust rememberabout these kits,however, is thatthere is a lag whenusing them.

Nick of time!

For example, if you're down to half health andheading for certain death, use the kit sooner rather

than later. If you waittoo long, therecharge time on thekit won't be as fastas the bulletsshredding your hide.

DOA.

Unfortunately,MacDonald has somerather unfriendlycompany waiting forhim as he comes in fora rough landing.

Captured!With MacDonaldnow in the clutchesof the German army,the Great Escapeofficially begins…NOW.

The Real Great EscapeThe prison guards, knowing that the POWs must be working on some

sort of escape plan, tried every possible action they could think of tobreak up escape attempts. POWs that were suspected of planningescapes were often transferred without warning to other prison camps.The guards also took the unusual step of segmenting the AmericanAirmen away from the other allies, hoping that would further disruptthe escape plans (apparently those Yanks had it in their heads thatthey weren't going to stick around for long).

Even with those setbacks, work on all three tunnels continued, untilthe tunnel nicknamed "Dick" (The other two were "Tom" and "Harry")had to be abandoned. The loss of one tunnel might seem like acrushing blow to the hopes of the POWs, but they continued to use thattunnel as a workshop, a hiding place for tools and, finally, as a place toput the dirt from the remaining two tunnels.

At the opposite endyou find a ladder,mount it and….

Crawl to … Re-imprisonment?!MacDonald isdragging his bodyacross the frostyearth when twoGerman soldiersshow up.

Oh well: there's always next time.

The Real Great EscapeWith only two tunnels remaining, things soon went from bad to worse. Luftwaffe guards found theentrance to the second tunnel, Harry, in the summer of 1943, and destroyed it. All available effort was thenput into the completion of the last remaining tunnel, "Tom." Even with the increase in manpower, thetunnel wasn't completed until March of 1944—close to the actual end of the war itself (though, to be fair,when you're a prisoner every minute matters).

Why did it take so long? The length of the final tunnel was 28 feet deep and 336 feet long (from thehut to the outer perimeter fence of the prison). The list of tools and items to build the tunnel wasstaggering. Here's a sample: 1,000 feet of electrical wire, 3,400 towels, and over 4,000 pieces of woodtaken from beds alone.

Down the corridor tothe left, you spy theguard that Gerry'stoying with. Switch tostealth mode andsneak toward theunwitting fool.

After you're within life-ending range,reach out and chokethe guard until hesubmits to the icy gripof death while gasping"mein leiben!"

Guard subdued(permanently), headthrough the doorway tothe right, then head tothe left wall.

On the wall you findinteresting informationabout shutting downthe power and howthat'll disable thelights, and so on.Sounds like a plan.

Head back into thecorridor and take apeek through thekeyhole of the firstdoor on the left todetermine the guard's location.

When you're sure thatthe guard won't noticeyou, sprint to the endof the hall and throughthe door outside.

Now hug the right walland move left, acrossthe castle courtyard.Keep a wary eye outfor that guard!

Jog along the wall and head down theperimeter of thecourtyard toward thelooming spotlight.

Heading beneath theall-seeing eye, zip intothe corner, thenclamber up the twocrates to get up on the wall.

After you alight on thewall, follow it rightvery carefully, mindingthe spotlight illumi-nating the wall in your path.

Beyond the spotlight'sreach, cruise past theshingled roof to yourright, and up and overthe low rise to reachthe next section.

Next you come upon a doorway embeddedin the wall to the left.Head through it andcontinue.

Now, beforeproceeding, lookthrough the keyhole tospy a guard patrollingback and forth.

When he heads awayfrom MacDonald, gothrough the door andengage stealth modeto pursue your quarrydown the lushlycarpeted hallway.

Before long, the guardducks into a nearbyroom to ponder whathe might do were hislife to continue formuch beyond the next five seconds.

Sneak in quietly yetquickly, and deliver the choke hold tofinish him off.

A Scot in German AttireWaving goodbye tothe castle once andfor all, MacDonaldsoon finds himselffaced with a farmore daunting task….

The Real Great EscapeObviously, the entire prison camp couldn't use the tunnel and try to escape (even Naziprison guards tend to notice a little thing like an empty prison), so the POWs devisedseveral methods to determine who went and who stayed. If you worked on thetunnel, either digging or if you could speak German (which gave you the bestchance to escape the country), you were put at the front of the line. With firstdibs on forged passports and papers, as well as getting to be one of the first outof the tunnel (and get the best lead on the eventual pursuers), it really did payoff to help out and build the tunnel. If you were in the second group, you drewstraws and hoped that you got the right to escape. If that wasn't tough enough, the actual escape certainlywas. Taking clothes and only the food that you could carry, you could look forward to trudging through theGerman winter and hiking it all the way to a friendly country. It was brutal but success meant getting tosee your family or fight again, and that was surely worth the risk and hardships for the POWs.

Mission 4:Struggle inthe Mountains

CHARACTER: MacDonald

Narrowly escaping alead-riddled demise,MacDonald slides intothe open and down a makeshift zipline to tentative freedom.

Mission Objectives– Escape

from themountains.

Escape from the Mountains

You're still garbed infull Nazi regalia, solope across thefootbridge just ahead.

Make a sharp rightturn at the firstbuilding, pass theguard outside, andproceed inside, yourfoes none the wiser.

Once inside, find theringing phone in theroom to the right, thusshort-circuiting anattempt to do you in.

A quick turnaroundand you come face-to-face with a guard!Don't lose your cool,though. After youcalmly explain whowas on the phone, helets you go.

After the guard leavesthe room, head to theright of the doorway tograb a first aid kit andsome Luger pistolammo. Now all youneed is a gun to fire it with….

Head out the door,straight across thehallway, past the guard and into thecorner where aphonograph plays.

On the table thatsupports thephonograph, find aLuger, another first aid kit, and more pistol ammo.

On the opposite side ofthe closed door,another table housessome Kar 95 sniperrifle ammo.

Laden with enoughammo to start yourown war, head outthrough the nearbydoor and back out intothe crisp night air.

Make a quick left andhead for the low-slunggate just ahead.Unlatch it and headthrough.

Move forward,hugging the wall to the left while passingthe crates and barrelto your right.

Continue past asecond set of barrels,and slip behind thesnow- and ice-coatedshack just ahead.

In the center of theshack's back sidestands a ladder.Clamber up ontothe roof.

Note the handy hole in the roof: thread that "eye."

Down below, atopsome shelving, findanother pair of first aid kits. Sweep themup then mosey over to the small table inthe corner.

On the table find twostick grenades andsome more Lugerammo (‘cause you cannever have enoughammo).

Head through the nextclosed door and backinto the frigid night air. Move over thenearby crate.

Following themountainside as youadvance, next to thesecond crate, add twomore first aid kits toyour repertoire.

Now proceed to theleft side of the twostacked crates, at thevery corner of thissmall yard.

Firmly ensconced, pullout the sniper rifle: it'stime for a turkey huntwith the oddsdecidedly stacked inMacDonald's favor.

Aim at the machinegunner standing atopthe spotlight. A quickshot to the headrenders him "uncon-scious."

After rattling off that firstshot, immediately swing therifle downward and send thenext two enemy troopsstraight to hell.

Two more troops barreldown the hill, all tooeager to meet a similarfate. Don't disappoint.

— 25 —

Tip If you are getting severelyshot up, use your first aid kits.

Uh-oh! While you weredistracted with the claypigeons across theyard, an enemy soldiermanaged to sneak upbehind you. Smack himonce with the butt ofyour rifle, which dropshim in a hurry.

He wasn't alone:another guard istaking aim atMacDonald fromacross the yard. Sendhim on a long,permanent, vacationsomeplace hot.

Exiting the smallenclosure, make amad dash across theyard, then up to thenearby road headingup the side of the hill.

Run up the hill andalong the railing, pastand through the opengateway.

As you reach theterminus of the steelrailing, around the nextbend you find anotherpair of soldiers.

Continuing onward,you pass a truck: toyour right is atelephone pole with afirst aid kit at its base.

Directly behind thefirst aid kit, find an MP40 submachine gun,multiple clips of ammofor it, and yet anotherfirst aid kit.

Machine gun in hand,head down the corridorleading past the nearbytruck.

Shortly, past somebarrels, you reach alamppost just beyond asmall rock outcropping.Beyond this is anoblivious guard. Try outyour new toy.

One down, head aroundthe bend and spotanother soldier amongsome crates and threemore standing, foolishlyenough in a row, out in the open. Mow 'em down!

Now, cautiously headforward, past the truck and around theback of the building to the right.

After you can spot themachine-gun bunker,pull out the sniper rifleand take out the guymanning it.

Rush forward, arm theMP 40, and mow downthe three soldierswaiting for you justbeyond the machine-gun bunker. Use a first aid kit if you getshot up.

Enter the machine-gun nestand take the controls asseveral more guards rushdown the slope, straight intoa Scot-powered meatgrinder.

The last remnantsdispatched (for now),head out of the bunker and down the road to….

Freedom at Last!Sprinting into the dark of night, we leave MacDonaldbehind for a time andtake up arms withSedgwick as the nextmission begins.

CAUTION In the next sequence, two guards drop inbehind you while you're moving forward. Be ready to turnaround and drop them as you come upon the crates to the right.

The Real Great EscapeIn a civilian prison, each prisoner is given an identical uniform to keep them separate from the guards andeasy to identify. But what do you do when all of your prisoners already have uniforms? Nothing.

Most POWs kept their uniforms or used whatever materials they could find to repair an old one or make anew one. Sometimes that wasn’t enough and soldiers had to wear a uniform (or a part of a uniform) fromanother branch or even another country. No Allied POW ever put on a German uniform voluntarily and,thankfully, he didn’t have to consider doing that.

After months of wearing the same uniform, a change would be nice, even just wearing civilian clothes, butthat was strictly against the rules. Prison guards weren’t going to let the POWs have anything that couldpossibly help them escape and get back to their own military.

Mission 5: Burn the Code Book

CHARACTER: Sedgwick

Taking a break fromMacDonald for a time,we join Sedgwick on amission to locateanother code bookhoused in the burned-out husk of a downed bomber. Unfortunately, there are awhole lot of enemies between him and his objective.

Mission Objectives– Get into the Army depot.

– Steal a vehicle.

– Drive to the farmhouse.

– Burn thecode book.

Get into the Army Depot

We find Sedgwick on atrain track. Jog alongthe rails and headdown the short slopeleading toward thedepot.

Head behind the firstbuilding you see, justpast the large tree, tolook for a vehicle youmight abscond with.

Steal a VehicleKeep hugging the wallto the left, pass asecond structure onyour right, and follow itas it sweeps to theright.

Keep moving forwardand you come across abarbed-wire fence anda truck up on blocks.Continue forward,behind anotherbuilding following thefence.

You quickly come upona guard tower with themost oblivious guardof all time. Ignore him,because he seemsintent on ignoring you.

Around the next bend,you pass a few cratesof ordnance and,lookee here, a massivemachine gun!

Step up to the cannonand hit the Actionbutton to activate it,then start mowingdown the troops asthey start spilling fromthe woodwork.

First blast the formerlyclueless guard in thetower with a few well-placed shots.

Next, turn yourattention to the pair ofguards on the far sideof the yard and meltthem with some red-hot lead.

Now rotate the cannonleft and fire betweenthe sand bags and(exploding barrels) tonail a few more.

Also, get the guard inthe other tower,because those peskybullets can sting evena hardened veteransuch as Sedgwick.

Rotate the cannon tothe left once moreto nail a sneakydevil hiding justright of a largebrick building.

Rotate the cannonback to the right andtake apart any otherfodder foolish enough to join thelopsided fray.

With the yard riddledwith spent shellcasings (and lots ofcorpses), dismountfrom the cannon andmove around to theright and toward theopen garage.

As you enter thegarage, enter stealthmode and creep to theright side of thehalftrack. Wait here fora moment.

As you cruise throughthe tunnel, a lonesoldier tries his best toslow you down. Floorthat accelerator!

Shortly you come upona series of barriers.Move around them andrun down (or shoot)the three nearbysoldiers.

As you pass the finalbarrier, one last soulmay try to make a runfor it—a wise but,ultimately, futiledecision.

Follow the road as ittwists, and beforelong, you come acrossa stone wall. Park thehalftrack behind it (donot park it on theroad!) and hop out.

Jog through the hole inthe wall and make forthe building in thedistance as fast asSegwick's legs willcarry him.

While you're up there,bag another first aidkit from the filecabinet, thenbacktrack to thehalftrack.

Now continue,unopposed, over thetracks and down theroad, admiring thecountry scenery as you zip along.

Take a right turn whenthe road forks andcontinue easing ondown the road.

A couple of sharpturns later, you runinto three soldiers whoare ill-equipped todeal with a speedinghalftrack. Barrel themover and continue onyour way.

Shortly thereafter youcome upon a garage.Roll the halftrackinside and shut 'erdown. It's time to goon foot once more.

Burn the Code Book

Head out the nearbydoorway, hang a right,and start movingtoward the trucknearby.

Pass the truck (sorry,no more rides fornow), and enter thehouse just behind thetail of the truck.

Proceed to the house's final room and find another firstaid kit sitting on ayellow chair. Grab it,then make for thenearby door.

Head past a smallflock of chickens andup to the hedge onSedgwick's right.

Use the Peek Camerabutton to get a bird's-eye view of the soldierpacing back and forthjust over the wall.

Now, head to the left edge ofthe hedge, select the bottlefrom your inventory, thenclick View Toggle. When theguard reaches the right edgeof the wagon, toss the bottleprecisely as shown.

On the opposite side ofthe bomber, go throughthe gaping hole in itscrippled side andclamber into itssmoking remains.

In what remains of thecockpit lies the codebook. Pick it up andSedgwick does therest….

Captured!Unfortunately, thisleads to Sedgwick'scapture. However,take some solace inthe fact that heaccomplished hismission first.

Now it's time to catch up with Hilts.

The Real Great EscapePlanning an escape from prison is a tough task, but imagine what it was like for the POWs at StalagLuft III. First, the prisoners had to copy passes and identification cards, obtain money and clothingfrom the surrounding civilian areas (most of which are strictly forbidden), and then create the items

with the few materials that they had.

On top of all that, they had to figure out how to escape from the camp,which usually entailed digging tunnels that resembled death traps asmuch as routes to freedom. Amazingly, some POWs tried posing asGerman officers (with homemade uniforms and basic German speech

classes provided by other POWs) and walk out the front gate!

There was also the knowledge that, if they were caught, they'd be shot on the spot.

Now, when you add all of that up, imagine just how Herculean aneffort it would be to coordinate an escape of say 50 prisoners at

once—never mind five times that amount!

Mission 6: TheCooler King

CHARACTER: Hilts

When we first meet Hilts, he's beencaptured (much like his compatriots)and is currently incarcerated in a German prisoncamp. Potentially, thisis a high-stealthmission, so be on yourtoes at all times.

After he slides out ofdirect view, push thedoor open but do notgo outside. Instead,back up into the halland let him comeinside.

He barks like a dogthen turns to go backoutside. At this point,run up and apply achoke hold on him.

CAUTION This mission has a high

stealth quotient: You must be sneaking, peeping

through keyholes, watching for errant beams of

light, and so on at all times, so keep your eyes

and ears open.

Trucking

Tunneler freed, Hilts is ready to move on to the next leg of his mission at the truck depot in Infiltration.

The Real Great EscapeSo how do you actually get your hands on things that are forbidden by the guards into a prison camp?Believe it or not, most things actually came from the guards!

Some guards could be prompted into doling out detailed information on the surrounding areas, trainschedules, or guard-watch shifts for as little as a piece of chocolate or a few cigarettes. Too much risk for toolittle reward? Not quite. Keep in mind that, during WWII, chocolate wasn't as easy to come by as it is today.

Sometimes POWs would even blackmail guards into giving up the goods on the local schedules. A POWwould simply give a prized item to a guard (again, chocolate or cigarettes), ask him to sign a receipt, andthen threaten to tell the higher ups that the guard was talking and getting chummy with POWs. Rather thanlet that happen (and deal with the serious repercussions that would surely follow) the guard would talk.

The Real Great EscapeEven though the POWs are sworn to try to escape, the prison guards don't sit idlyby and let them. Guards would try every means they could think of to detect anddestroy tunnels. The POWs soon named the guards that specialized inpreventing escape attempts, each name describing the way the guard acted.

Ferrets were some of the most dangerous guards. They could comeinto any hut (where the POWs lived) and search for anything at anytime. They were trained to recognize the telltale signs of tunneling,such as missing wood from the hut or extra dirt outside. To combatthis, the POWs developed a system of signs to alert the tunnel workerswhen a ferret was on the prowl and heading in their direction. Withtime to put away tools and clean up, the POWs knew that the tunnelingwould continue.

This wasn't always a good thing, though: Sometimes a ferret would learn of atunnel and wait until it was almost fully ready before getting a fleet of heavy trucks toroll above the tunnel and cave in all the hard work, crushing spirits along with thetunnels themselves.

The Real Great EscapeWhen it comes time to actually dig a tunnel, you can rely on the same three things most important to anybusiness: Location, location, location.

When you live in a hut that's above ground on a wooden plank and the only thing that goes all the waythrough to the ground is your stove, you don't have many options. Of the more than 105 (!) tunnels dug at StalagIII, the vast majority led down through the stoves and into the ground.

Even when you get the entrance done right, and keep it hidden from the constant checks by the Ferrets,you've got one major problem: dirt, and lots of it. It's not going to simply vanish.

The secret the POWs used was to deputize other POWs (who called themselves "Penguins") to get them tospread the dirt around the prison. The Penguins would fill a sock or other piece of clothing with dirt, hide thatinside their pant legs, and then casually walk around the prison, dropping dirt with each step.

Recon Complete!

With the entrance to the body of the tunnel taking shape,the really dangerous part happens. You didn't think thatgetting caught digging an escape tunnel was the worst ofit did you? Imagine being 20 feet or more underground, in asmall hole when, all of a sudden—cave-in! Now hope thatyour buddy (always dig with the buddy system) can dig youout before you go from digging dirt to sleeping in it …forever.

The easiest way for the POWs to prevent a cave-in wasto use as much wood as possible to prop up the top. With alimited amount of wood, this becomes difficult.

The solution the POWs came up with was to take planksof wood from their beds. This made things unpleasantwhen you couldn't lie on your bunk bed because it mightbreak and crush the poor guy beneath you.

Though he ends up recaptured, it was all apart of the plan, and Hilts comes away withsome very valuable intelligence on thesurrounding area.

Ride that Train

With the GreatEscape concluded,it's time for Hendleyand Blythe to catcha ride on the rails. Of course it's a bit morecomplicated then it sounds, namely because Blytheis blind….

The Real Great EscapeWhen you're deep down in the earth digging tunnels, air is luxury item. Forexample, a two-foot by two-foot cave under 30 feet of dirt doesn't get a lot of air.

Without it, the tunnelers have a hard time maintaining consciousness, letalone digging.

However, the POWs came up with an ingenious way to get air to the"miners" below. Using materials that were procured from the huts or

"liberated" from the Germans, they made hand-held air pumpsand placed them at the entrance to each tunnel, ensuring asteady, if low quality, stream of air.

In addition to making breathing a bit easier, wooden railsand wheeled sleds (think makeshift mine carts) were built into

the tunnels, helping to get the diggers into the tunnels and thedirt out as quickly as possible.

Amazingly enough, in some cases, lights were even installedthanks to a quick-thinking POW who spotted some unattended

electrical wire and snagged it. Bad news for the guy that wassupposed to guard that wire—when the tunnel was discovered, he

was blamed for it and executed!

The Real Great EscapeDigging a tunnel isn't an exact science, and even the best-laid plans can go awry. When the

first POW poked his head out of the tunnel, he panicked, seeing that the tunnel was muchshorter than planned—it was much closer to the guard towers thanthe POWs would have liked. The situation became tense, and a

decision had to be made. All of the forged passports andpaperwork were dated for the following day, much longer thanit would take to start digging again and add those vital extrafeet to the tunnel. Either the POWs chanced it and went thatnight, or it would all have been for naught and the escape

would be called off. The taste of freedom, however brief it mightbe, was far too alluring to the POWs and a signaling system was

rapidly put into place. The first man out of the tunnel would hide out ofsight, and then use a rope to signal to the others and let them know when the

guards patrolling the fence had little chance to see them. The system worked andmen started to trickle out of the tunnel and into the snow.

The Real Great EscapeThe added time it took to use the signaling system, and the timenecessary to put it into place, slowed the pace of the escapemuch more than anyone would have dared imagine. By the earlymorning, only 76 men had escaped. With daylight coming up soon,the word was quickly passed that anyone with a number in theescape line over 100 was, sadly, not going to get their chance.Disappointed, the men stayed in the hut, knowing that they would behassled in the morning for attempting to escape, but avoiding getting shot forwalking outside a hut during the night. Unfortunately, 100 men did not make itout of the tunnel. The 87th man, confusing the "stay there" signal with "gonow," exited the tunnel at the same time as a German soldier happened to beonly feet from it. A warning shot was fired and the alarm quickly raised. Themen already out of the tunnel began to run, hoping to get as far away as theycould before the guards went into the forest looking for them. Those leftbehind in the tunnel and the camp could do nothing except wish their friendsgood luck and wait for another day in the Stalag Luft III prison camp.

Fly Away!

Hop back into the fueltruck and go and pickup Blythe. He's still inhis shack nearly duewest of the plane.

It's a quick return tripdue east to the plane.

With Blythe turning thecrank, the plane roarsto life! It's time to packit in and head back toEngland.

Off We Go!

That completes"The Misadventuresof Hendley andBlythe." Now werejoin MacDonald for a pair of missions.

The Real Great EscapeAs you can imagine, the German guards weren't too pleased with the escape. In fact, word rapidly went all

the way up the line of the German military until it reached Adolf Hitler. His response was simple:"Any prisoner found during an escape is to be shot on sight." He quickly changed that order to

"over half are to be shot and cremated," and the directive was passeddown the line of command. Under the Geneva Convention (which is a

basic set of rules and guidelines on how to treat foreign prisonersof war), so long as a solider carried some form of identification or

rank on him, he could not be shot as a spy. This meant that thePOWs who were carrying these items (and most, if not all of them,

were) knew that they would be returned to the camp without the ultimatepunishment. They would surely be punished, locked into solitary

confinement for a long time or maybe even transferred to a moreremote and secure prison, but life would go on and the hope of

returning home would remain. Surely the German Army wouldfollow those rules and not shoot unarmed men trying

to escape home.

As soon as you're afew feet from theguards, make one last mad dash forfreedom!

Woe to thevanquished! And with that,MacDonald stridesinto the sunset,leaving his pursuersscratching theirfairly empty heads in abject puzzlement.

The Real Great EscapeThe captured men were quickly handed over to the Gestapo (thesecret police of the German military), and that must have been

when the POW's started to wonder. Usually, an escaped POWwas handed over to the civilian police and held until hecould be returned to the prison from which he escaped.

Having the Gestapo pick you up is something altogetherdifferent—many times worse. The Gestapo weren't above

the law; they were it and they were free to do almostanything they wanted. Both the German military andGerman civilians were deathly afraid of them, and forgood reason. Fifty of the men were rounded up by theGestapo, taken to fields and allowed to rest and thenshot to death. In almost every case, the report waswritten the same way: "The prisoners, whilstrelieving themselves, bolted for freedom and wereshot whilst trying to escape." It was obviously a lie,but the end result was the same. Fifty Allied Airmenwho heroically fought for their countries weremowed down like cattle.

The Real Great EscapeOut of the 86 men that made it out of the tunnel, 83 were caught. Fifty of those wereexecuted and the remaining 33 were returned to the Stalag Luft III prison camp (or anotherprison camp). What happened to the other three?

They actually made it and escaped home. Per Bergsland and Jens Muller escaped andeventually made their way to Sweden. Bram van der Stok traveled out of Germany andthrough Holland, Belgium, France, and Spain before finally reaching freedom in Gibraltar.When word of the 50 executed prisoners reached the prison camp, it was given to theSenior British Officer. The new warden (the former one was arrested and subsequentlyspent two years in jail) told the SBO that 50 men had been shot while trying to escape.The SBO's first question was full of hope and easy to see coming: "How many arewounded?" "None" was the reply. A memorial and cemetery were built by thePOWs after getting permission from the Luftwaffe guards (many of whom wereoutraged by the executions and didn't want to be thought of as being like theGestapo) and, after the war, the memorial and cemetary were moved to theOld Garrison Cemetery at Poznan where both still remain to this day.

Drop down through the wall, and headpast the half track.Sedgwick is almostfree, with just a fewmore guards betweenhim and sweet, sweetfreedom.

With three guards tokill, the easiest thingto do is use thePanzerfaust ("armoredfist") on them. Thisrocket-propelledgrenade allowsSedgwick to blowthem up from a safedistance. Use both Panzerfausts on the guards, then youare home free.

Freedom

The Real Great EscapeOne of the worst aspects of the prison camp (if anything could actually beworse than being a prisoner of war) was the food. The "culinary arts" of theAllied army were a lot like the bombing of the day—mostly broad misseswith a few hits here and there. Most of the time, the POWs bordered on theedge of starvation and were kept in good spirits largely thanks to thefoodstuffs sent from home (yes, even in a WWII prison camp you canstill get mom's cooking sent to you). Most of the time, the POWs wouldpool these aid packages together so that every man could share in thespoils and never go hungry. Needless to say, day-to-day rationsprobably weren't complained about … too heavily.
