Great Escape

German resistance well-noted within prison encampment
Rambunctious brood neath an underground network
Erasing traces under so-called watchful eyes
Allied soldiers, hundreds to gain freedom
Together with a few arduous laborers

Escapee repeater joins the group
Smart-aleck, a wisenheimer
Cyclist, a real daredevil
Against all the odds
Prisoners escaped
Except for a few
