Don't miss out on this unique event hosted by the PEO Peterborough Chapter!In 1940, the Nazis began using Colditz Castle (Oflag IV-C) – a forbidding, supposedly escape-proof, gothic fortress perched on a 30 metre rock outcrop above the eastern German town of the same name – to hold Allied officers who’d proved particularly troublesome, or particularly adept at escaping from other prisoner-of-war camps. The escape attempts that took place here have connections to civil and aeronautical engineering. Some prisoners dug through rock and wooden beams using hand tools, and others built a glider in a hidden attic room. About 30 prisoners successfully escaped from the castle; called "home runs". Compared to only 6 from StalagLuft 3; where the "Great Escape" took place.Our speaker, who in 2018 had an all-day tour of the castle that covered all the known escape attempts, will talk about some of the interesting attempted and successful escapes.
