How my grandfather walked out of the 'escape-proof' POW camp Colditz, by Sebastian Neave


Listen Later

His grandson, Sebastian Neave, tells author and historian Guy Walters about his grandfather’s epic journey to freedom - and how he went on to play a key role in the trial of Nazi war criminals at Nuremeberg.
