Colditz Castle - A British Escape

Our tour guide suggested that the prison was more famous outside of Germany than within. Likely due to the heroic stories written by escapees.



Pat Reid escaped by finding his way into a smelly (from rotten potatoes) root cellar

and squeezing through an air shaft.

This left him outside the castle but facing high terrace steps


(he was either unaware of our untrusting of the cover of a nearby stairway) and the the guard dog kennels both of which he managed to pass through.


Christopher agreed to show how Pat had to do a backbend to pass through the air shaft otherwise Pat's knees would have prevented passage.
