cont... but the transformation inside is amazing , the radio in the museum had only just been discovered in 97 and was still in the attic !!!! Considering it was up for sale for 1 Mark in 97 , congratulations must be given to those who fought to preserve it for ll to see today , long may it prosper' a visit is highly recommended, Congratulations on the video , it brings back memories, i hope to take a tour there soon , Mike ,
@TheAdagioforTiesto And ain't that game awesome? I didn't play it until like 3-4 years ago, but damn it was cool. It also got me into the series Colditz from 1972 and the movie The Great Escape. So glad I played it.
I have visited colditz 3 times , and every time it sends a shiver down my spine, The first time it was in 1997 and then it was grey and desolate, and we had teh run of the castle , including the delicing room , solitary confinement cells and so on , the museum as it is today was non existent On my folling 2 visits i was shocked at the transformation, at first , i thought they had spoilt the atmosphere by painting it cream, its not as foreboding ,

Mike,
Well done on a really well presented and insightful documentary on Colditz. It brought back memories of my visit there in 2004.
Went there 3 years ago! Very interesting!
This is excellent. Miles better than most docs on TV! (History Channel anyone? Yuck, no thanks)
very good love to visit
I shall be there this week!
