	Colditz Castle - WW2 Maximum Security Prison Camp
		The castle was originally built in 1014 as a hunting lodge for the kings of Saxony.
		The castle was visited by Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering early on in the war, and was declared to be "Escape Proof" - a prediction which, with hindsight, was rubbish.
		Colditz Castle was the "maximum security" prisoner of war camp situated over 300 km from the nearest "safe" border and housed those allied officers who had persistently escaped from other "stalags" within occupied Europe.

	Plan of Colditz
		It is important not to forget that the Colditz series was actually based on the very real events which happened between 1941 and 1945 to all the officers who were incarcerated in the Colditz castle.
		Indeed, even though access to the real castle would not be allowed by German authorities until the fall of the wall in 1989, the disposition of the castle in the series is a very accurate replica of the original.
		Disclaimer: Colditz, the castle, the characters and their adventures were devised by Brian Degas and Gerard Glaister and co-produced by the BBC and Universal ©1972, ©1974.

	The Colditz Castle Glider and the British POW daring escape plans toward the end of WWII
		Colditz castle was the German "Supermax." RAF prisoners like Jack Best, Walter Morison, and Lorne Welch, recaptured after escaping from other POW camps were transferred to the supposedly inescapable Colditz.
		Many of the men imprisoned at Colditz are still alive today, and there is a quite active "Colditz Association." Lorne Welch had a long and active role in soaring after the war, writing several books on the subject.
		Colditz Castle was reportedly used after the war as a hospital for Russian officers, and has since fallen into serious disrepair.

		Colditz Castle, a forbidding medieval edifice near Leipzig, Germany, was supposed to be the Nazis' most escape-proof prison.
		Incorrigible Allied officers who had repeatedly escaped from other camps were sent to Colditz, the only German POW camp with more guards than prisoners.
		Escaping from the castle was only the beginning, however, and while at least 130 got out during the course of the war, only 30 got clean away.

		The first three episodes of the series acted as an extended introduction to the basic foundation plot of the show and introduced the viewers to the three main central characters by charting the events that led up to their arrival at the camp.
		Colditz's British POW contingent was under the reluctant command of Lt Colonel John Preston whose main adversary was the unnamed German Kommandant of the camp.
		The main attraction were the multitude of imaginative attempts by the prisoners to escape from the inescapable castle (ranging from attempts at guard impersonations and wall scaling, to the launching of home made gliders from the castle roof).

	Colditz
		Interestingly, she’s listening to a CD by Danny Pain when she and the Doctor first arrive, so unless she was being extremely coy or rude when she actually met Danny, this story probably takes place after No Future.
		Also, despite a certain naivete, she seems more prepared for her stay in Colditz than she would have as a teenager, which suggests that this could be the "New Ace". This could be supported by her decision to start going by her given name, Dorothy McShane.
		Colditz isn’t called “the escapers’ prison” because it’s easy to escape from -- rather, this is where they keep officers who have already escaped from other camps and have been recaptured.
