Oflag IV-C

Oflag IV-C was a German World War II prisoner-of-war camp, primarily for captured Allied officers. Located in Colditz Castle in Germany, it was known for housing high-ranking officers and for efforts to escape. The camp was heavily fortified, with strict security, but its prisoners often attempted elaborate escape plans, some successful. Colditz became famous for its resilience and the resourcefulness of inmates trying to maintain morale and dignity under captivity. Today, the site is a museum showcasing its history and the ingenuity of those who were imprisoned there.
