| rdfs:comment | - In 1938, Squadron Leader “Squiffy” Squiffington Henry Fitzwilliam-Mildendowne published a semi-autobiographical account of one of the most formidable, courageous and exciting feats attempted of all time; namely, an attempt by a ragtag bunch of PoWs to escape the world’s most secure prison yet invented: Glasgow. It proved hugely popular, and after the war was adapted into a film. The author, however, was unhappy with the way the filmmakers had made the story more suitable for family viewing by glossing over the unpleasant conditions in the prison, and substituting brutal Scotchmen for mildly threatening Nazis. In an attempt to tell the real story, the following are extracts from his work.
