Colditz
In a forbidding Gothic castle on a hilltop in the heart of Nazi Germany, an unlikely band of British officers spent the Second World War plotting daring escapes from their German captors. Or so the story of Colditz has gone, unchallenged for 70 years. But that tale contains only part of the truth. The astonishing inside story, revealed for the first time in this new book by bestselling historian Ben Macintyre, is a tale of the indomitable human spirit, but also one of snobbery, class conflict, homosexuality, bullying, espionage, boredom, insanity and farce. With access to an astonishing range of material, Macintyre reveals a remarkable cast of characters of multiple nationalities hitherto hidden from history, with captors and prisoners living for years cheek-by-jowl in a thrilling game of cat and mouse. From the elitist members of the Colditz Bullingdon Club to America's oldest paratrooper and least successful secret agent, the soldier-prisoners of Colditz were courageous and resilient as well as vulnerable and fearful -- and astonishingly imaginative in their desperate escape attempts. Deeply researched and full of incredible human stories, this is the definitive book on Colditz.
Colditz, Ljudbok
På toppen av en kulle i den lilla staden Colditz några mil utanför Leipzig reser sig en medeltida borg. Under andra världskriget utgjorde den Nazitysklands fängelse för särskilt fientliga och rymningsbenägna krigsfångar. Innanför dess murar satt en brokig skara brittiska och amerikanska officerare och smidde planer för hur de skulle kunna ta sig därifrån. Det är historien om dessa män som den bästsäljande författaren Ben Macintyre berättar. Hans enastående talang för att lyfta fram spänning och dramatik ur historiska skeenden har läsarna tidigare mött i Spion och förrädare och Agent Sonya. Med ett digert källmaterial som grund presenterar Macintyre hittills okända delar av historien om Colditz och skildrar det ena förbluffande uppfinningsrika flyktförsöket efter det andra. I persongalleriet ingår exempelvis den hungerstrejkande läkaren Birendranath Mazumdar, USA:s äldste fallskärmsjägare Florimond Duke samt den brittiske uppfinnaren Christopher Clayton Hutton. Vi får en bild av livet i borgen, där fångarna byggde upp ett slags mikrosamhälle, med hierarkier och hemliga allianser, hjältar och förrädare. Här berörs teman som människans vägran att låta sig kuvas men också klasskamp, snobberi, homosexualitet, ensamhet, galenskap och fars.

Colditz, E-bok
På toppen av en kulle i den lilla staden Colditz, mitt i Tyskland, reser sig ett medeltida slott. Borgen gjordes av nazisterna under andra världskriget om till ett högsäkerhetsfängelse för särskilt rymningsbenägna krigsfångar. Innanför slottets murar hamnade en brokig skara brittiska och amerikanska officerare som genast smidde planer för hur de skulle kunna ta sig därifrån. Det är historien om dessa män som den bästsäljande författaren Ben Macintyre berättar. Hans enastående talang för att lyfta fram spänning och dramatik ur historiska skeenden har läsarna tidigare mött i Spion och förrädare och Agent Sonya. Med ett digert källmaterial som grund presenterar han hittills okända delar av historien om Colditz. Här skildras fångarnas desperation, tristess och det ena förbluffande uppfinningsrika flyktförsöket efter det andra. Här ges en inblick i livet i slottet, där fångarna byggde upp ett slags mikrosamhälle med hierarkier och hemliga allianser, hjältar och förrädare. Här berörs klasskamp, snobberi, homosexualitet, ensamhet, galenskap och fars. Men framför allt människors vägran att låta sig kuvas.

Flight from Colditz, E-bok
Colditz Castle was one of the most famous Prisoner of War camps of the Second World War. It was there that the Germans interred their most troublesome or important prisoners. Hundreds of ingenious escape attempts were made but the most ambitious of all was to build a glider and fly to freedom.Though the glider was built, the war ended before it could be used, and it was subsequently destroyed. Using the original plans and materials used by the prisoners, in March 2012 a replica of the glider was constructed in a bid to see if the escape attempt would have succeeded. The glider was then launched from the roof of the castle roof.Anthony Hoskins is the man who built, and helped launch, the glider. As well as examining the story behind the building of the original glider, he details the construction of the replica and the nail-biting excitement as the ‘Colditz Cock’ finally took to the skies. Packed with photos of the glider and its flight over Colditz, this is the inside story of the recreation of one of the most intriguing episodes of the Second World War.
