    "Tom, Dick and Harry famously had their stories told in the film The Great Escape, but more is soon to be learned about a little-known fourth tunnel.
    This spring, a British team is due to excavate "George", at the site of the Stalag Luft III camp in Zagan, Poland.
    The tunnel was built after the March 1944 escape by 76 Allied prisoners that is portrayed in the film starring Steve McQueen, but never used for an escape."
