Riveting watching

A shame they had to stick Americans in it to make it marketable. There were no Yanks in the camp in reality.

I know the Great Escape isn't about Colditz but I visited there once. It's a lovely little village and well worth a visit. When I went, there was a chrismas market in the prisoners' exercise yard and a choir where the delousing shed had stood! It was utterly incongruous but it was quite an experience walking up the access road, through the various arches and into the yard. It's totally uncommercial but in one room one of the tunnels is marked. I have a little half-liter souvenir Gluehwein mug that I bought which I use for my tea.
