* Paul Brickhill was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia; during the war, he was shipped to Canada to train in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Serving as a Spitfire pilot in RAF 92 Squadron, he was shot down over Tunisia in 1943 and sent to Stalag Luft III, where he joined the security section of X Organization. Post-war, his book, The Great Escape, provided the first comprehensive telling of the POW and escape experience at Luft III.

* An air force officer arrived at Stalag Luft III in the winter of 1944 with unused tickets in his pocket to a production of Arsenic and Old Lace being staged at the Hudson Theatre in London. His tickets were honoured at the North Compound theatre.
