Escape From Colditz! The British Plan To Glide Out Of Colditz Castle

During the Second World War, Colditz Castle gained a notorious name as an un-escapable German prisoner of war camp. It housed mainly officers of different nationalities, however the prisoners were intent on escaping. Goring initially claimed that escape would be impossible but over 30 allied prisoners managed the feat in many different ways. One of the most remarkable plans to escape the fortification came in the form of the 'Colditz Cock Glider.' Inside the prison a number of British officers would work tirelessly to create a huge actual gliding aircraft that would have been launched off the top of the Chapel in Colditz. A full scale glider was actually made using stolen wood in a remarkable feat of engineering. The German guards had become so accustomed to looking for tunnels that the officers that they didn't think to look for hidden workshops. The officers that made the glider would work tirelessly to get it finished incase the SS would arrive at the castle. The Colditz glider would never fly after the Americans would liberate Colditz at the end of the Second World War. However the feat of engineering would be tested later to see if it was possibly to glide from the castle to safety over the river. You'd never guess the results of the test!
