http://www.abc.net.au/rn/breakfast/ Many will have seen the 1963 film of the same name starring James Garner, Charles Bronson, David McCallum and of course Steve McQueen in that famous motorbike scene. But the film dramatised the real events of March 1944, when 76 allied airmen broke out of a prison camp in central Germany. Seventy-three of the Great Escapers were recaptured and then 50 of them were murdered by the Gestapo. In retribution, an outraged British government appointed a former policeman to hunt down those responsible within the chaos of post-war Germany. ABC TV's The Great Escape: The Reckoning airs Thursday 29 October at 8.30pm on ABC1.
