Now compare what you have just seen to the current product released by Netflix etc. Scary

22:07 Good moaning, I was just pissing by the door so I decided to nick it.

Superb.

20:30 not American tanks - British Churchill tanks.

Saddest part is that for the liberated NCOs the real struggle was just beginning, coming home to uncertain futures, at least in the castle they had purpose, I almost feel sorry for them going back home, at least they'd all passed on before they could see how conned they all were and how in vain their efforts were, I'm old enough to have known them, I wish I hadn't lived to see the elitist treachery and British self-loathing

Thanks for uploading this. its a million times better than any modern tv show

It’s ironic that Nigel Stock is playing the part of an SS interrogator, when he played the part of an escaped POW being interrogated by the SS in ‘The Great Escape.’

Perfect. Thank you so much

The POWs playing volleyball and the like so enthusiastically must have been relative newcomers. Prisoners who'd been on semi-starvation rations for many months had hardly enough energy to stand at attention.

German engineering, Tiger tank

Such a landmark series, the current BBC isn't fit to swipe away these guys sweat (that's putting it nicely).

Did anyone notice at about 25:54 the actor got Downing's name wrong? He called him Jim instead of Tim.

An observation when in the prior episode he found his son had been crushed by a Russian Tank and not taken prisoner Kommandant was fearful of being captured by the Russians knowing how brutal they were and was relieved that he and his men were placed in allied hands.

What an incredible actor Bernard Hepton was; always instilling his roles with great emotion.

Anyone tell me why he refused the proposition the rationale behind.

I like this series but it is a disgrace to history that these people are commandos - Willy Rushton is too fat to scale a cliff with rope - he had the right acccent for the BBC though - and look what they turned in to - a woke, anti white propaganda machine - you should have cut it short and put Goebells in charge of the BBC - same result. Well done marxists - what else can you ruin?

Tim Downing is wonderfully posh

“Kommandant, I would like to lodge a complaint with the Protecting Power regarding the complete lack of racial and gender-based diversity in this show. Unacceptable.”

Ive watched the whole series, again, first time in 1972? i although only 12 then, it was impressive, but now quite an incredible plot but as an adult now, i understand an awful lot more, it must of been unbearable for the Allied forces, and i imagine, the Germans were portrayed favourably, that was probably, incorrect

Carter is right, Brent would probably just write Collins another cheque out of some misplaced sense of honour.

“I shall only say this only once”……….

Willy Rushton as a Commando - come on - a bit fat wasn't he - before you fat people comment - no you couldn't be a fat Commando.

Commandant, I would like to lodge a complaint with the Protecting Power regarding the complete lack of racial and gender-based diversity in this show. Unacceptable! lol

There was one confirmed good Nazi...Oskar Shindler. He was a member of the Nazi party and held company with senior members of the SS as a industrialist at the highest level however, as the war unfolded, he distanced himself from the attrocities of the SS finding ways to aid the victims without exposing that help.

This is the episode where the Major (Anthony Valentine) forgot his bad back jumping into that sidecar.

Brilliant series. great acting from the German side, criticisms; worst character the American colonel imo, and what happened to Dick Player?

I remember all my school mates watching this every week when it was first on TV. Our Drama teacher was Dave Chapman, brother of Paul Chapman that played Capt. George Brent. Paul even came to our school once to soak up the fan adoration 😂.

Aaaand the Americans save the day lol, I love this series and watch it start to finish all the time but I've come to realise the deeper I go that the whole Colditz thing was as much fiction as the tv show

Anyone wondering why there are always a cold war between SS and Weirmacht is SS were usually cold blooded ruthless fanatic low skilled not experienced day to day workers loyal to Hitler than the regular Army.

Electrifying!

Hans Meyer: extraordinary actor and (South African/French) man. And this classic series really is completely peerless.

Remember watching this in the Scrubs. Loved it truly inspirational.

They couldn't make a show like this now because of all the Woke shit ,👎 thank goodness we can watch it on RUclips,

Hitler had a policy of shooting Commando's,

Mr Mole.aka John Rapley as an SS officer great actor player comedy and Drama, 50 years on l am still hooked by Colditz great series

Major Horst Mohn has got some serious gongs. A quick tot up, please feel free to correct me if there are any experts out there: Knights Cross German Cross (aka Hitler's fried egg) Iron Cross First Class Wound Badge in Gold Close Combat Clasp Krim Shield Parachute Badge

I remember this as a kid, we had far better TV shows then than the rubbish now, love island ffs, endless games show's send me back to the 70's

..."this isn't suitable at all, sgt we shall remove ourselves" ..........brilliant!

Well I came across this 3 weeks ago having watched it the first time over 40 years ago with my grandfather, have watched all the episodes almost back to back, great acting ,great stories and great memories, they do not do real drama like this any more for sure

Vas es losse! Alarm Alarm...

A hard watch at the time, and in many respects harder today.

A real risk of pretending to be insane is that- after months of doing so- you become whom that you have been pretending to be.

44:00 The US Army never carried Thompson M1928 SMGs with a foregrip. 🙄 Is it really so difficult to watch for these details?

- Tweedle dum-=- One of the finest dramatic episodes of Coldidz in yje history of television drama..

Pity there's no mention of NZ Army Capt Charlie Upham VC & Bar who was held prisoner at Colditz after several escape attempts. Immediately upon liberation he asked the Americans for a gun & grenades, the latter his favourite weapon, in order that he could resume fighting the Germans. I'm unsure how far he got in his personal vendetta before the Brit authorities caught up with him and ordered him to pack it in.

Bernard Hepton was my Uncle's brother on my mother's side of the family, real name Heptonstall, he was born in Bradford where I grew up, he used to come to family Christmas parties when I was a boy, he shook my hand once, I didn't wash it for a week lol..he was a lovely man..R.I.P. Uncle Bernard, loved and never forgotten...

Excellent....!

great series 👏

No US servicemen took part in a Colditz escape attempt. They were not even at the camp when the attempts took place.

The 1955 colditz story was better no americans in it! Just brits french dutch poles And lots of nasty germans!
