The real story of Colditz
Ben Macintyre uncovers the unknown story about what actually happened at Colditz.
It's a legend many of us have grown up with: a plucky group of British officers, finding themselves trapped in a heavily guarded POW camp during the Second World War, try every trick they can think of to break out. But, in a new book by Ben Macintyre, we hear for the first time the real story of Colditz. A story that's not just more complicated, but far more interesting than the one we were told.
Guest: Ben Macintyre, Associate Editor, The Times.
