rdf:langString Romualdas Marcinkus (22 July 1907 – 29 March 1944) was a Lithuanian pilot. Marcinkus participated in an early trans-European flight on 25 June 1934, and was the only Lithuanian pilot to serve in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. In his youth Marcinkus was a Lithuanian multifold football champion and a playing coach for the Lithuania national football team. While serving in the Lithuanian Air Force, Marcinkus was a parachute instructor, and headed the aviation sport and physical education department, and during his later years coached a junior football team. A few months before the Soviet occupation of Lithuania early in the Second World War, Marcinkus left Lithuania and enlisted in the French Air Force. After the Battle of France and the French capitulation, Marcinkus escaped to Britain, where he flew for the RAF. As a pilot for No. 1 Squadron RAF, he took part in various missions, including escorting bombers and night combat. On 12 February 1942, during Operation Cerberus, he was shot down, became a prisoner of war, and was sent to Stalag Luft III. At Stalag Luft III Marcinkus became an active member of an underground group of prisoners who organized and executed the Great Escape. Marcinkus was responsible for analyzing the German railway schedules – a vital part of the plan. On the night of 25 March 1944, Marcinkus became one of 76 servicemen who escaped the prison camp. After several days he was recaptured by the Gestapo and executed. At the end of the Second World War, Lithuania lost its independence and Marcinkus was largely forgotten. His memory was kept alive by the Lithuanian émigré press. After Lithuania regained its independence in 1990, more detailed accounts of his life were published there and abroad.

rdf:langString Romualdas Marcinkus (Jurbarkas, 22 luglio 1907 – Pruśce, 29 marzo 1944) è stato un aviatore, calciatore e allenatore di calcio lituano, unico tra i colleghi del suo paese ad avere prestato servizio nella Royal Air Force (RAF), l'aeronautica militare britannica, durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Nella giovinezza fu anche un campione di calcio nonché allenatore della nazionale lituana. Mentre era in servizio con l'aeronautica militare lituana (Karinės oro pajėgos), Marcinkus fu un istruttore dei paracadutisti e guidò anche il dipartimento di educazione fisica dell'aeronautica. Dopo l'occupazione sovietica della Lituania all'inizio della guerra, Marcinkus lasciò il paese e si arruolò nell'Armée de l'air, l'aeronautica militare francese, con la quale combatté durante la campagna di Francia. La capitolazione francese lo spinse a fuggire in Gran Bretagna, dove venne accettato nella RAF, inquadrato nel . Dopo varie missioni come scorte ai bombardieri e azioni notturne, il 12 febbraio 1942, nel corso dell'operazione Cerberus, Marcinkus venne abbattuto e, preso prigioniero, spedito nello Stalag Luft III. Durante la prigionia divenne uno dei membri di un gruppo impegnato nell'organizzare una fuga dal campo di prigionia, impegnandosi principalmente nell'analisi delle ferrovie adiacenti per individuare un mezzo di fuga con cui dileguarsi. Il piano venne messo in atto il 25 marzo 1944 e l'aviatore lituano fu tra i settantasei prigionieri ad evadere, ma venne catturato dopo qualche giorno dalla Gestapo e ucciso. Alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale Marcinkus venne dimenticato, citato solamente dai giornalisti lituani emigrati all'estero. Il personaggio tornò alla luce dopo il riottenimento dell'indipendenza della Lituania, nel 1990.
