n0kn0k Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Great movie Very entertaining. It's the 3h mini series remake from not too long ago(1-2 years) right? Can also recommend two more recent movies. - Dresden - Hidden Children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin I Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 The Colditz books by Pat Reid, a bone fide escapee, are very good. There was a BBC series many years ago based around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Colditz, I watched the miniseries, they took British POWs there to actually relive what they experienced there, Odd to believe that the british smuggled Pieces of passports in BoardGames from the RedCross! God where those Limeys clever It was hell to get out of Germany, few if any got out and it peed off the High Command so much they executed many of them because the amount of German Resources that were tied up hunting these Perpetrators.. No excuse though, if you expect your own POWs to be treated fairly you must show it turn. I'm certain though we do not hear it, that many young Germans captured faced a untimely fate due to such atrocities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_para Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 JJR, See the Great Escape. All the Americans are actually Canadians. There were no US prisoners. Good movie anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
