Has anyone seen the PBS Special about the true events upon which the movie The Great Escape was based? Archeologists unearthed the prison camp and the tunnels. Then, they invited 3 or 4 of the surviving "escapees" to the site, where they described how they did certain things. Remnants of what they described were found at the site.

What amazed me the most was how accurately the events were portrayed in the hollywood version of the movie!!!!

It was a box office movie. I appreciated the effort of film industry in Holywood. They are the best in film making.
