What Is Colditz About?
The premise of Colditz without spoilers.
During World II the Germans transform Colditz Castle into an allegedly escape‑proof high‑security prison, concentrating repeat escapees in one location. Among them are the most skilled Allied officers and soldiers, who regard each escape attempt as both a personal challenge and a duty to frustrate and undermine German forces.
