colditz fan fiction
date: 02 Mar 2007
| The BBC has done it again: they've made a series that sounds as if it deserves wide-spread recognition... and then didn't sell it abroad or release it on DVD. No, I haven't watched the show, although I certainly will if it ever airs here - my enthusiasm for it is solely based on what Sue's "The First Duty" made of it. Colditz is about the incarceration of British and other Allied soldiers in the German castle of the same name in WW2 and is based on actual events. What fascinates me most is the lack of a black-and-white painting of the German officers - instead of making them all out to be sadists without regards for the Geneva convention, the series (and Sue's story) depict them as complex men, each with his own reasons for being where they are and doing what they do. Most of all, I love Ulmann's slowly developing, unacknowledged friendship with some of the British POWs, and his understated, equally unspoken regard for his Kommandant. If you ever find the show anywhere please tell me. Thanks. |
