    Albert, R.N. (1953)

    The events presented in Albert R.N. are based on fact and took place in the prison camp, Marlag O for Naval Officers in North-West Germany during the spring of 1944.

    The inmates of a German prisoner of war camp suspect they have an informant in their midst, foiling their escape plans. An officer who was an artist in his civilian life offers fresh hope, by creating a lifelike dummy – nicknamed ‘Albert’ – that can be used to cover the absence of an escapee during roll call.

    Directed by Alfie director Lewis Gilbert and released in some markets as Break To Freedom. A fake POW camp was built on Headingley Heath for the film.
