The Great Escape is a 1963 film about several hundred Allied POWs who plan a mass escape from a German POW camp. more »



Preissen:
The prisoner Bartlett is discharged into your custody, Colonel von Luger.

Herr Kuhn:
I suggest the prisoner Bartlett to be kept under the strictest security confinement permanently.

Oberst Von Luger:
Make a note of Herr Kuhn's suggestion.

Hauptmann Posen:
Jawohl, Herr Oberst.

Herr Kuhn:
We have reason to believe this prisoner is the mastermind behind numerous criminal escape attempts.

Oberst Von Luger:
[sarcastically] Squadron Leader Bartlett has been three months in your care. And the Gestapo has only "reason to believe"?

SS-Hauptsturmführer:
If he once more falls into our hands, he will not be so lucky.

Oberst Von Luger:
Air force officer prisoners are the responsibility of the Luftwaffe – not the SS! Or, the Gestapo.

Preissen:
[Condescendingly] At present, yes, Herr Oberst. That is why they're turned, for the moment, over to your care.

Herr Kuhn:
Of course, if the Luftwaffe is not up to the task, the prisoners will find themselves totally in our charge. We, regretfully, are not so professionally understanding. [Kuhn, Preissen, and the Hauptsturmführer start to leave, but Kuhn stops and looks closely at Bartlett.] Squadron Leader Bartlett: if you escape again and be caught, you will be shot.
