A pretty terrifying one. It’s a vast, 700-room Gothic schloss on top of a cliff, overlooking the town of Colditz: a very dominating, domineering piece of architecture. The castle was built in the 11th century by the electors of Saxony, effectively as a demonstration of power. And it was also used, from its very earliest times, to incarcerate people who did not fit in with the existing power regime. Over the years, it had been a psychiatric hospital, a prison, a place where the electors would put their unwanted and dangerous siblings. So it’s always had a history of being somewhere people were held against their will.Last week Kaspersky Lab faced claims that its software maybe being used by the Kremlin to spy on British banking customers. Henry Alfred Symonds - Member of Waffen-SS British Free Corps - Guilty of aiding the enemy, sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment Apparently not. Ben Macintyre’s book is the second on the subject to appear this year, following Robert Verkaik’s excellent The Traitor of Colditz. Whereas that focussed on a single episode, this is a soup-to-nuts account of everything that happened inside Oflag IV-C from 1940 to 1945, marrying the perspectives of captive and captor alike. Within weeks Sinclair attempted his first escape by squeezing through a lavatory window at a Leipzig hospital where he was being treated for sinusitis. He was at liberty for several days before his recapture in Cologne during a police hunt for the crews of RAF aircraft shot down over the city during one of the first British 1,000 bomber raids.

John Stamos pays tribute to Matthew Perry as he reminisces over sweet gesture on Friends set 20 years ago: 'I never forgot that' Karel Čurda - Soldier - Guilty of treachery, executed on 29 April 1947. Betrayer of the Anglo-Czechoslovak army agents responsible for the assassination of top Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. [20] Verkaik has done a great job mining the secret service files in the National Archives and unearthing narrative gold. The Germans went to enormous lengths to subvert British captives and infiltrate the prisoner intelligence network, and had an almost comical faith in the potential benefits. Their efforts met with near-complete failure. In the end, only 30 or 40 men were tempted to take up arms for the enemy, most of them ego-charged chancers like Purdy. The truth about traitors may be that there is no great enigma to be unravelled. But in Verkaik’s hands the story of their treachery makes for a fascinating read. William Brittain - Member of Waffen-SS British Free Corps - Guilty of aiding the enemy, sentenced to ten years imprisonment but released for ill health after two months. Donald Trump and wife Melania are seen together for the first time in SEVEN MONTHS at a Mar-a-Lago Halloween...
