Colditz/Ben MacIntyre reviews
Any expert reviews on it here? Most online reviews seem to be written by people who are not RAF/aviation history specialists.

Re: Colditz/Ben MacIntyre reviews
I think you would be lucky to find such a review (unless there is one on an armed forces or veterans site) just because Colditz contained prisoners from all the services and was not a Stalag Luft. Famous early books for example were by Army officers Pat Reid (The Colditz Story and The Latter Days at Colditz) and Airey Neave (They Have Their Exits).
Here is a discussion from Army Rumour Service: https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/th...series.314599/

Re: Colditz/Ben MacIntyre reviews
Thanks for the link! Seems that the author should change his name to "Ben Wokentyre". A great historian never, NEVER, assesses past events using later day standards.
