Oflag 64, a World War II prisoner of war (POW) camp based in Schubin, Poland, was speculated to be one of the only POW camps set up exclusively for U.S. Army ground component officers. About 150 American officers lived in the camp in 1943, and by 1945, that number had expanded to 1,500. When the German commandant Colonel Fritz Schneider received orders to march all of his prisoners to west Germany to escape the Russians in January 1945, that number declined rapidly as the American officers put into place long-existing escape plans that would make history.
In The Big Break, we follow famous POWs, such as General Eisenhower’s personal aide, General Patton’s son-in-law, and Ernest Hemingway’s eldest son, as the first American escapes via a tunnel in a stinking latrine, with almost 250 US officers following closely behind in a mass break. The Schubin escapes are by far the largest Allied POW escape of the second World War, surpassing even The Great Escape of 1944. Historian Stephen Dando-Collins chronicles the gripping story of irrepressible Americans determined to be free, brave Poles risking their lives to help them, and dogmatic Nazis determined to stop them.

“It’s Alive!” And it’s a dandy. Poles are great, they essentially won the Battle of Britain, and substantially brought down the Soviet Union.

The Poles were not the only foreign fighter pilots and ground crews.
That was not the only time the Canadians bailed the Brits out. There was WW1 where Canadians were the most feared soldiers by the Germans. Not to mention Canada fed Britain and supplied loads of war material - all shipped across the Atlantic gauntlet. Many Canadian merchant marines died. They would not have even made it to the battle of Britain if not for Canadians.
Never again. Not a single drop of blood or treasure ever again for the Brits - ungrateful snobs. I laugh at what they have turned into.
*THE CANADIANS — In the Battle of Britain*
“In order to show Canadians back home that their boys were fully engaged in the war, it was decided to create a special squadron (242) manned by Canadians already in the RAF. This squadron assembled some of the finest talent of the war—young fighter pilots from across the land, now seen fighting the Nazis as a cohesive unit.”
