Burman and the story behind “The Great Escape” Harry served in WWII as a B-17 pilot and was shot down over France in 1943. He was harbored by the French but eventually ended up in a German POW camp. The camp, known as Staglag Luft 3, became famous as it was the scene of the most daring escape of the war.  The plan was for 200 POW’s to escape through 3 tunnels each wearing civilian clothes, and with the proper papers to provide them passage to work their way to safety.  Harry Burman played a part in that escape.  Years later after the war, Harry returned to France with Barb to a hero’s welcome by those that had harbored him during the war. One of the POW’s was Paul Brickhill, an Australian Air Force pilot an writer who had been shot down over North Africa.  Brickhill was involved with the tunneling, chronicled the escape as “The Great Escape” which later became a movie starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, and several other prominent actors of the day.
