  This story reminded me of a great board game in the 70's called "Escape from Colditz". Apparently theres a reprint! https://theboardgameshow.com/2016/10/18/escape-from-colditz-...

  Here's a video that includes a flight of a reconstruction in front of some of the veterans who built the original.

  The main question for me is, who would have been chosen to fly out? I imagine that the two most senior officers would be chosen, but I have no idea how that would have been decided. Anyone have insight into RAF policies?

  Also mentioned in "The Colditz Story" by Pat Reid, a good book similar to the movie "The Great Escape".

  Schloss Colditz apparently now has a museum. Be neat to see that.
