Watched a really good documentary onetime about Stalag Luft III that was located in Sagan, Poland. There was a small crew there with a back-hoe that were trying to dig up the tunnel but it just kept collapsing because the ground was mostly sand.

I think British actor Richard Attenborough did an excellent job in "The Great Escape". Agree with the others that Steve McQueen's contribution was also good. His motorcycle scenes were actually shot in beautiful Southern Bavaria.
