I often visit the Stalag Luft camp 3 to just follow up about new information.

So I saw they added the sign where the Wooden horse esacpe was.

Lt. Rupert Stevens from the SAAF who was involved with the Great Escape was also involved with the wooden Horse:

As I was there, there was some Police from Scotland Yard as well. If you walk around one the camp site you see a lot of lyrics and still pieces of the camp. So you get idiots who so and collect the fragments and cell it on Ebay and the the police where looking to catch people doing that. Symbols, blue porcelain piece of the Luftwaffe is really saugt after. The area belong to the Polnisch army, and often you will run into soldiers doing navigation exercises in the forest.

So I wonder why, why do you get idiots who go and damage artifacts, people died there. Some symbols are just pure evil and leave it alone, do not go and dig it up, my opinion. Leave it in the Museum, do not go dig it up and sell it.

It is about 200m from the Harry tunnel from the Great Escape exit
