The only complete story of the extraordinary allied POW breakout in World War 2 that Hollywood called The Great Escape.  On March 24-25, 1944, seventy nine Allied airmen clambered through a tunnel at Stalag Luft III in Eastern Germany in the final act of what became the most famous breakout of POWs history. A Gallant Company goes beyond the best selling Great Escape. Built around a cast of colourful and engaging characters, it is a tale of ingenuity, perseverance, courage, and a testament to what ordinary men can achieve under extraordinary circumstances.
