The three were Danny and Willie (played by Charles Bronson & John Leyton) who are seen rowing to a neutral ship, and Sedgwick (played by James Coburn) who escapes to Spain via France.

Danny & Willie are representative of the two Norwegians who escaped via Sweden, whilst Sedgwick at this stage represents the Dutch officer Van der Stok, who escaped to Spain.

He does Escape with Donald Pleasance (Colin "The Forger"), but the plance they steal crashes short of freedom. Colin is shot dead and Hendley re-captured.
