Janet Brown was a comedic genius and impressionist.Amazing that her husband Peter Butterworth, who played the buffoon in many a Carry On film was a prisoner of war and held at Stalag Luft and was a key member of the Great Escape team. He was supposed to be the last man out but stayed to keep sending coded messages to British Intelligence. Another prisoner Talbot Rothwell was a scriptwriter for the Carry On films too. Butterworth was turned down to play himself in the 1949 movie The Great Escape.

Just going by his Wikipedia page, he played a MINOR role in the escape from Stalag Luft III portrayed in the book/movie 'The Wooden Horse', NOT 'The Great Escape' . The rest, it seems you totally made up, because there's no sources for it online at all.
