Colditz Oflag Iv-c

Immortalized in film and
literature, the 15th century castle of Colditz is remembered not for
tales of medieval chivalry or withstanding withering sieges but for its
darker past, when it was converted by the Nazis into a prisoner-of-war
camp called Oflag IV-C. This book examines the history of Colditz, the
methods used to keep prisoners inside her formidable walls, and the
techniques by which her prisoners attempted to escape.
