Description:
|
If you ended up in Colditz castle, you had already been labelled as trouble. Siphoning off prisoners of war who disrupted the smaller POW camps, many of these officers and their aides were notoriously hellbent on escape. Focusing on both the prisoners and their Wehrmacht guards and well supported with maps, diagrams and photographs, this is the story of life in the supposedly escape-proof Schloss Colditz.
Offering fair and balanced examination of the Colditz myth, this is an extremely readable WWII story like no other.

An amazing book. We all knew the stories about Colditz but this book delved inside the castle and how they all got along, prisoners and guards. Wonderfully expressed. |
