==In popular culture== *The film ''[[Joy Division (2006 film)|Joy Division]]'' (2006) portrays a member of the BFC, Sergeant Harry Stone, among the German troops and refugees fleeing the [[Red Army]] advance into Germany. In the film it is the aggressive Stone who appears to be the only convinced Nazi remaining among the [[Hitler Youth]] with whom he is grouped. He is seen attempting to recruit British POWs before the column is attacked by Soviet aircraft. *[[Jack Higgins]]' novel ''[[The Eagle Has Landed (novel)|The Eagle Has Landed]]'' portrays a BFC officer named Harvey Preston, who is patterned on [[Douglas Berneville-Claye]]. He is attached to the {{lang|de|[[Fallschirmjäger (Nazi Germany)|Fallschirmjäger]]}} unit which attempts to kidnap [[Winston Churchill]]. A convinced Nazi and petty criminal, Preston is viewed with disgust by all members of the German unit. *On TV, the British Free Corps was a subject for "[[Foyle's War (series six)#.22The Hide.22|The Hide]]", the final episode of series 6 of the British TV series ''[[Foyle's War (series 7)#.22Sunflower.22|Foyle's War]]'', in which a British POW who had joined the BFC was tried for treason in Great Britain once he returned home, after surviving the firebombing of Dresden.<ref>{{cite news |work=The Daily Telegraph |url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/7572134/The-return-of-Foyles-War.html |title=The Return of ''Foyle's War''|first=Anthony |last=Horowitz |date=9 April 2010}}</ref>
