Just finished a two season series about Colditz from a book written by Patrick Reed, a British POW at Colditz Castle. Those who attempted many escapes were sent here. A BBC production available on youtube. Not a great escape type action show but I found it very interesting.

Colditz
Colditz achieved fame after World War Two as the prisoner of war camp that no-one could escape from. Colditz was an isolated castle built on top of a cliff and overlooking the River Mude in central Germany. To all intents it was seemingly impossible to escape from - so the Germans believed. However, this did not mean that men did not try to do so and by putting together the best escapees from POW camps, the Germans effectively made a problem for themselves.
