A commemorative first day cover (105/195) "Gedenkstatte Und Museum Sachsemhausen", signed by Squadron Leader Bertram Arthur James M.C. who was one of a handful sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp after 'The Great Escape' from Stalag Luft III in March 1944.
Squadron Leader James eventually escaped from Sachsenhausen, accompanied by Jack Churchill, Harry Day, Johnnie Dodge and Sydney Dowse using small cutlery knives to dig an escape tunnel over 110 metres long. On the run for several weeks, he was finally arrested in Pomerania before being transferred back to solitary confinement in Sachsenhausen.
