Today we are digging through the history and escape attempts at Colditz Castle in Germany. During WWII Colditz became the most escaped Allied POW camp, during 1939-1945. Join us as we discuss why this was, the types of successful and unsuccessful attempts made and the more than 1000 year history of the castle. Stayed tuned to the end to hear about Colditz: The Board Game!
