“The whole story of Colditz will, no doubt, one day be told, and it will make an enthralling story; but it must be written by one of the men who was there.”

‘Escape and Liberation, 1940-1945′ by A.J.Evans

These words, by the author of The Escape Club, one of the greatest escape books of the First World War and one which inspired Major Pat Reid, British Escape Officer at Colditz from 1940-1942, to ultimately make a ‘Home Run’ succinctly describe my own personal views of the Colditz Story. Therefore, wherever possible, this website is narrated by the words of the prisoners who were there who went on to describe their experiences in their own words.
