A short film by Dave Windle, a fellow Colditz Society member. Dave had the privilege of knowing some of the veterans and had the opportunity to interview some of them. He is currently transferring the videos to DVD.
The Colditz News section is designed to share current information relating to Colditz, former inmates or indeed anything which may be relevant to visitors of this site. I will also be adding details of events in the UK that you may find interesting - if you find things that I have missed then let me know and I'll add them here. To be automatically notified of new news posts here, just subscribe using the box on the left - and, in case you're wondering, we hate spam so your address will never be shared with 3rd parties.
