在这部逃离寇地兹堡集中营 第一季剧情/历史片中,本片基于寇地兹堡集中营幸存者Major Pat Reid的回忆改编，讲述了那些试图从寇地兹堡集中营逃跑的人们的故事，以及德国人和囚犯之间的关系。本片超越当时的时代认识，没有刻意丑化德国，而是将德国指挥官塑造成了一个富有善心的绅士。
This grim and claustrophobic drama chronicles the lives of the prisoners in Colditz Castle from the arrival of the first British prisoners after Dunkirk until the liberation of the castle by the Americans in 1945. Colditz was a "special" camp, designed by the Nazis to hold high-risk and politically important prisoners. Many of the series' plots are based on real events.
