	EI > DVD > Colditz Story, The (1955)
		In the history of Colditz only one prisoner was ever shot trying to escape, the incident portrayed in the film is accurate but the character in reality was one Lt. Michael Sinclair and he met his end in 1944.
		As said, the film is a faithful recreation of some of the events at Colditz castle, even down to the problems of the multi-lingual community making translators necessary, the respective characters speak the languages they are supposed to without resorting to accented English, which I always find clumsy, if not disrespectful, in movies in general.
