Colditz: The Full Story

In Colditz: The Full Story, first published in 1984, Major Pat Reid has for the first time been able to bring together all the dramatic discoveries resulting from research that has covered the five continents. There were more than 300 escape attempts at Colditz in the four and a half years of its war history and Major Pat Reid vividly describes a unique interlude in Second World War history that contains the mythical qualities which cause a legend to live forever. Men from all over the world and from all walks of life were incarcerated in suffocating intimacy for five years in an alien and hostile land. Under these conditions they proved that men could live together, and that loyalty and generosity could thrive, transcending the natural prejudices of race, creed, language and intellectual diversity.
