For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Colditz castle was a famous WW2 prison of war camp. It was supposed to be unescapable and was used to hold allied prisoners who had escaped from other POW camps. Despite the fact that there were more guards than prisioners - there was many successful escapes. British officers even managed to build a glider. Try a google search - there should be loads of articles on the castle on the web.
Found this site which explains where it is and gives you loads of background reading about the castle. (and best of all its in english) :

It went very well thankyou! Actually it was more interesting than I thought it was going to be because as you might have guessed history isn't my cup of tea! Very large culture shock though, the people there are completely orientated around the castle, and everyone who lives there wants to work there!
Thanks for asking!
