Out of Colditz

This audiobook follows the remarkable journey of the Prominente—descendants of the British elite who were held as prisoners at Colditz during WWII—and explores a pivotal moment when Nazi camp commandant Gottlob Berger chose to disobey orders and spare their lives. Eight decades later, David Lascelles reflects on their story, questioning Berger's motivations—whether compassion, remorse, or self-interest influenced his decisions. Through this tale, the narrative delves into themes of morality, legacy, and the complexities of human choice amidst the atrocities of war.
