Squadron Leader Dowling Rip Original Great Escape

War veteran who helped inspire The Great Escape film dies - Telegraph

 

I would support his view of the motor cycle scene and even the role of S M,good actor as he was.

Fiction is the enemy of history as Dowling points out.Like many others who have witnessed history, having it replayed with distortions is not easy to take.

 

Yes like U571 coz it was the Germans who captured and cracked enigma!
