the ancient castle of colditz in east germany was used during the second world war to hold allied officers who had repeatedly escaped from other camps. it was declared by the germans to be "escape-proof", and had more guards than prisoners. in principle, the guards recognised that it was the duty of the pows to try to escape, while their own duty was to stop them. prisoners could even form gentlemen's agreements with the guards, such as not using borrowed tools for escape attempts. unsuccessful escapees were punished with solitary confinement instead of execution.

when not trying to escape, the castle's inmates occupied their time in bizarre ways. the french, for example, built mouse tanks. the tanks were toy-sized, made of wood and operated from the inside by a mouse running round a wheel. it was even possible to stage mouse battles.
