{"product_id":"the-colditz-story","title":"The Colditz Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eColditz was the last stop for prisoners of war during WWII. Those who persisted in escaping from other camps were sent to the impregnable fortress of Colditz Castle, situated on a rocky outcrop high above the River Mulde. Once within the walls of the castle, the Germans reasoned, escape was impossible. And yet many prisoners attempted escape and many succeeded \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePat Reid was one of those men. Appointed 'Escape Officer' by his fellow inmates, he masterminded many of the attempts. From tunnelling, to hiding in rubbish sacks, disguising themselves as German officers and even leaping from the castle walls, nothing was too dangerous or foolhardy compared to imprisonment by the enemy. Reid's own escape, in 1942, was both one of the most simple and the most daring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst published in 1952, \u003ci\u003eThe Colditz Story\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic escape story in the tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Great Escape\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wooden Horse.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791337320627,"sku":"9781444795684","price":580.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478188369781444795684.jpg?v=1762856323","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-colditz-story","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
