March 24th 1944: The ‘Great Escape’

On this day in 1944, a group of Allied prisoners of war staged a daring escape attempt from the German prisoner of war camp at Stalag Luft III. This camp, located in what is now Poland, held captured Allied pilots mostly from Britain and the United States. In 1943, an Escape Committee under the leadership of Squadron Leader Roger Bushell of the RAF, supervised prisoners surreptitiously digging three 30 foot tunnels out of the camp, which they nicknamed ‘Tom’, ‘Dick’ and ‘Harry’. The tunnels led to woods beyond the camp and were remarkably sophisticated - lined with wood, and equipped with rudimentary ventilation and electric lighting. The successful construction of the tunnels was particularly impressive as the Stalag Luft III camp was designed to make it extremely difficult to tunnel out as the barracks were raised and the area had a sandy subsoil. ‘Tom’ was discovered by the Germans in September 1943, and ‘Dick’ was abandoned to be used as a dirt depository, leaving ‘Harry’ as the prisoners’ only hope. By the time of the escape, American prisoners who had assisted in tunneling had been relocated to a different compound, making the escapeees mostly British and Commonwealth citizens. 200 airmen had planned to make their escape through the ‘Harry’ tunnel, but on the night of March 24th 1944, only 76 managed to escape the camp before they were discovered by the guards. However, only three of the escapees - Norwegians Per Bergsland and Jens Müller and Dutchman Bram van der Stok - found their freedom. The remaining 73 were recaptured, and 50 of them, including Bushell, were executed by the Gestapo on Adolf Hitler’s orders, while the rest were sent to other camps. While the escape was generally a failure, it helped boost morale among prisoners of war, and has become enshrined in popuar memory due to its fictionalised depiction in the 1963 film The Great Escape.

“Three bloody deep, bloody long tunnels will be dug – Tom, Dick, and Harry. One will succeed!”
- Roger Bushell

Most of you probably know that chili peppers are a New World...



Most of you probably know that chili peppers are a New World food, right? There were no chili peppers (the kind with capsaicin in them) anywhere in Eurasia or Africa until Columbus bumped into a continent he wasn’t looking for. So how did English come to call hot, spicy little capsaicin fruits “chili peppers”?

Well, “chili” comes from Nahuatl “chilli,” the Aztec name for capsaicin fruits. And “pepper” is named for the Old World spice pepper. Yup, the stuff you probably have on your dinner table. Before New World capsaicin peppers, the only taste which was kind-of spicy was Old World pepper. European explorers didn’t bother inventing a new name when they already had something to describe the taste, sort of, and unimaginatively just started calling capsaicin fruits “peppers.”

Meu Santo Expedito, tu, que és o Santo Guerreiro. Tu, que és o Santo dos desamparados. Tu, que és o Santo dos aflitos. Tu, que és o Santo dos desempregados. Tu, que és o Santo das causas urgentes, protege-me, ajudame, concedendo-me força, coragem e serenidade. Atenda ao meu pedido (faça o seu pedido nessa hora). Meu Santo Expedito, ajuda-me a superar estas horas difíceis, protegendo-me de todos os que podem me prejudicar, protegendo também a minha família, atende ao meu pedido com urgência, devolvendo-me paz e tranqüilidade. Meu Santo Expedito! Estarei agradecida pelo resto da minha vida e propagarei o teu nome a todos os que tiverem fé. Muito obrigado”. 

Reze 1 Pai-Nosso,1 Ave-Maria e faça o Sinal-da-Cruz.
