This section of the web site looks specifically at the British contingent. From the arrival in October 1940 of 3 RAF Flying Officers from Canada - Donald Middleton, Keith Milne and Howard Wardle and the following month of the ‘Laufen Six’ to the establishment at one stage as a ‘British only’ Camp, the British were at the heart of Colditz.In this context the term ‘British POW’ has been applied to any serviceman, of whatever nationality, who served under one of His Majesty’s armed forces. Dutch, Czechs and those from many nations fled to Britain and enlisted as their nation was occupied. It also covers citizens of British Dominions who bravely fought for the cause.As has been observed elsewhere on the site Poles, French, Belgians, Dutch, a few Americans and Yugoslavs and even a solitary Indian were held at one time at Oflag IVC.Soon this section of the site will contain information on several individuals of other nationalties.
