| 1 | * Hendley (an RAF pilot) and Colin actually manage to steal a German plane and almost make it home. |
| 2 | * Hilts iconically heading to Switzerland on his motorcycle. |
| 3 | * The fact that Danny has pretty severe claustrophobia and nearly snaps when the lights go down just serves to make it more awesome when you remember that he's dug so many tunnels, and has even been buried alive on some occasions. |
| 4 | ** Also, the fact that Danny and Willy were some of the few who managed to escape. |
| 5 | * Ashley-Pitt's HeroicSacrifice, taking out a Nazi who recognizes Bartlett after Ashely-Pitt himself had been avoiding notice. |
| 6 | * The montage of so many prisoners trying to escape the camp within minutes of arriving (such as by hiding in trucks or trying to march out with the woodcutters) is a great EstablishingCharacterMoment for the whole cast, even if none of them succeed in getting out right then. |
