Colditz Castle (Oflag IV-C): Paintings and Photos

Link to Colditz Castle (Oflag IV-C): Paintings and Photos
W. F. Anderson

The watercolor on the left was painted by British POW Major W. F. Anderson in 1941-1942. The photo on the right shows a similar view from 1995, after the castle had been restored closer to how it looked during medieval times. The accompanying text describes how music was used as a signal during an escape.

The site features a small art exhibition and other information, often in English and German.


Mario Bosch has a great photo gallery, though his image of the castle as it was during the war (and several decades after) is on a different page.
