Colditz

One of the best tv shows set in WW2. I can only think of one that is better, Combat, from the 60's. This show was really great. Based on actual events. The only thing that would make this show better, would be if there were more episodes!!! As its taken from real events, you cant fault them for that. The quality is great throughout. Shows the struggles of Luftwaffe trying to run the camp, while keeping the SS and Gestapo from taking over and being far harsher than what they were. Day to day life as allied prisoners, dreaming of escape. A great portrait of that time. Showing both sides, allied, sadistic Germans, and some Germans that tried to be fair as well.
