Program Overview
|
|
|
Colditz Castle - allegedly the most impregnable POW camp in the
whole of Germany and home to those prisoners considered most
dangerous by the Nazi high command. Yet from 1940 to 1945, over 300
men managed to escape. Belgians, Dutch, Poles, Serbs and Brits,
united by their hatred of the Germans, shared secrets, tools and
information, while competing to be the most successful 'escaping'
nation.
In NAZI PRISON ESCAPE, the tunnelers, forgers and escapees reveal
how they used the castle's passageways, nooks and crannies to their
advantage; how they forged passes, keys and German uniforms; and how
some of the finest military brains in Europe pitched themselves
against famed German organization and won.
