My name is Steve McQueen and this is Jumping over the National

Why did you make this thread? I'd love to talk about The Great Escape but memeposting never leads to good discussion.

Can anyone dispute it was so stupid for James Garners Character to take the Blind English dude on a joyride through Nazi Germany.

76 people escaped, being killed by the Nazis afterwards doesn't mean they didn't get out of the prison.

It's also worth noting that most of them were British air force toffs rather than soldiers, it's a very impressive feat considering.

I'd rather get shot outside the camp than inside.
No sarcasm.

I'd rather say fuck it and wait 9 months and go home not dead

They weren't cowards though, and they also realised that even if they were caught or killed, they were still forcing the enemy to use their resources on recapturing them which could otherwise have been put into the war effort or finding their other escaped comrades.
