Speaking of Colditz and it's famed glider I snapped this when I visited the castle back in 2010. Now I don't remember if these are the original plans or a copy of them.



I had also just finished reading this:

Strictly speaking Los Baņos wasn't a POW camp but a civilian internment camp, although towards the end the civilians where treated much like the POWs in other camps in the Philippines. All things considered the raid was one of the most successful camp liberations in the Pacific. This link is to a video showing the survivors of Los Baņos being evacuated by LVTs or Amtracs. http://www.criticalpast.com/video/65...ternment-camps
