I think his escape from the camp was much more impressive. I mean, everyone makes their FINAL escape.
Except /he/ didn't actually escape from the camp at all. At least not until it was liberated by the allies.
Still, the assistance he gave is much more impressive than simply keeling over dead. Anyone can do that.
Particularly if they jump out of a plane into an area where people are shooting at them.

That does tend to increase the likelihood of dying, yes.
