Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Colditz: Home Run charts the fictional events occurring at Oflag IV-C following the departure of Lieutenant Player in 1943.In a novel based on a television series based on real-life events, much-loved characters and familiar settings provide the backdrop for a reimagined ending to the original TV series. The novel reintroduces classic characters from the programme with the inimitable Pat Grant, Dick Player and Simon Carter taking their rightful places centre stage. Weaving fact with fiction, tales of real-life exploits intertwine with the familiar characters and settings of the original TV show, allowing the reader to explore the draughty corridors of Oflag IV-C once more. Aficionados of real-life historic events surrounding the castle in the 1940s will recognise references to genuine escape attempts and the logistics of escape and evasion techniques. The story begins in November 1943 when the Colditz Escape Committee's greatest plan to date is masterminded and put into action. With pressure from MI9 to complete the operation, and Major Mohn and Hauptmann Ulmann meanwhile cracking down ever more stringently on security measures, our heroes must become more innovative and determined than ever if they're to pull off the propaganda coup of the decade. The story is followed by its sequel, Colditz: Missing, Presumed Escaped, in which Flight Lieutenant Carter embarks on a solo mission in a daring bid for freedom. Written by a fan of the original series for the enjoyment of fellow fans, Colditz: Home Run and Colditz: Missing, Presumed Escaped combine to create a feature-length episode with familiar characters in a brand-new plotline. A tribute to a much-loved BBC TV series and to the many heroes of World War Two. This item is printed on demand.
