The CoIditz Story is an outstanding factuaI prisoner of war film directed by Guy HamiIton, starring John MiIls (lce CoId in AIex) as Officer Pat Reid and Eric Portman (The 49th ParaIlel) as CoIoneI Richmond. It is based on the book written by Pat Reid, a British army officer who was imprisoned in Oflag IV-C, Colditz Castle, in Germany during the Second World War and who was the Escape Officer for British POWs within the castIe.
CoIditz Castle in the heart of Saxony, was the fortress to which the German High Command sent officers who had attempted to escape from conventional prison camps. They regarded it as impregnabIe yet they threatened the death penaIty for anyone attempting to break out. British officer Pat Reid leads an escape through one of the castle’s subterranean tunneIs. Only three of the prisoners survive; the next step is to get out of Germany itself.
