Thanks Richard. Seeing these pics was very enjoyable. Somewhere I would like to visit. The restoration work makes the castle look very different from the drab run down place that it appeared to be during the war.

#26............prisoner radio station. There has apparently been much post-war debate as to if this set is original to Colditz.Always looking for Luftwaffe Kampfflieger related document groups. In particular anything to Kampfgeschwader 2.Comment

That's all the pics which I will post here. Worth a visit but not what I had expected. A nicely renovated castle and beautiful town to boot however, after being lucky enough to visit the site of Stalag Luft III at Sagen a few days previous I am afraid Colditz came second out of the 2. Still, I hope the photos were of some use.
