Thanks for the info on Colditz!

Thanks for the info and I do have the Channel 4 documentary and one I bought here in the states from National Public Broadcasting, which shows a group building a replica sail plane and flying it for the actual veterans who built it. Sure wish the Allies could have saved the original at Colditz. Have to make plans to visit Colditz along with Stalag Luft III on my next trip across the pond! Much thanks for the info on Colditz!

A salute from:

There was a documentary on Channel 4 last year when they built the aircraft from the original plans and it flew very well in front of some of the guys that actually built the original….should be due for a repeat soon or on satellite

Has anyone here been to Colditz?

Greetings from across the big pond on this sunny saturday, Moggy thanks for the laugh, to much. I once drove past the Colditz on a business trip and had no time to stop. Has anyone here been to the Castle ? I have often wanted to visit this place to see where all that history took place! The Channel 4 story on Colditz is excellent, bought it at Hendon and it covers so much about life in the castle for those interned within its walls! Would have loved to see those guys fly out of that place in the sail plane they built !

Cheers!

Also look for the reservation voucher of the S**** hotel in L******* being smuggled in by that suspect-gay German officer with zee outrrrraegouzz akzent and the riding whip under his arm.
