Description

Filmmaker Louise Woehrle presents excerpts from her documentary Stalag Luft III – One Man’s Story told by her uncle, World War II U.S. Army Air Force Bombardier Capt. Charles Woehrle, one of 10,000 prisoners of war in Stalag Luft 3. His B-17 was shot down May 1943, yet miraculously he survived. At age 94 this remarkable man takes us back in time — over 75 years filled with grit and grace. Woehrle felt the urgency to document her uncle’s incredible story with the intention to bridge the gap of time through his living history — one of our heroes from the Greatest Generation who has much to teach us about life.
