Surely a brave group of souls who fought against the odds to break their imprisonment. But war changing? It alone decided the ending of WWII? I don't really think so.

Minus a million defenders,that clearly has no effect on a war.

If that is even true, which I have not yet seen proof of. Not to mention that it is hardly the one decisive factor of the war. Furthermore I have a very hard time believing that the Nazi High Command had both the ability and the stupidity to withdraw a million front line troops to look for 70 or so escapees.

Sorry,but the Estimates are at a Million,If you need evidence google it,or read a article.And a million - manpower could really decide a war,even if it is temporal,As they are disorganized and spread far and wide,Many believe D-Day would have failed if the Escape never happened,In fact,Roger Bushel said the escape was to Disorganize the Enemy.

It is not my job to prove your claims for you. If you do not back up your claims with evidence I will not consider them fact. The number seems absurdly high, and ultimately an unobtainable number as it seems impossible for HC to just requisition an Army Corps+ sized force during a two front war to go off on a glorified egg hunt.

Prove your claims,Your demanding evidence yet fail to give even a shred,I want you to actually see the other side,not Deny something that don't think is true,see the evidence,come up with counter evidence.

PS:your Rude Fuel for a flame war wasn't supposed to be here,you're very lucky I can't ban you from this forum.

Get your facts right,it was a three front war,the South(Italy)the West,and the East.
