Drawing on unseen National Archives records, this book reveals the betrayal, espionage, and backstabbing within the ranks of the officers imprisoned in Colditz during WW2.

How these men, surrounded by enemies, couldn't even afford to trust each other. And how the Traitor of Colditz almost led them to their deaths.

IT IS THE DEPTHS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
