Ken Rees was a British war hero who inspired Steve McQueen's 'Cooler King' character in The Great Escape. He was part of the legendary escape from Stalag Luft III camp during World War 2 and spent much of the war in solitary confinement. Despite his exploits, he remained humble and emphasized the differences between him and McQueen's portrayal in the movie. Rees passed away at 93, leaving behind a legacy as a resilient figure who constantly annoyed the Germans and disrupted their plans.
