Colditz (2005)

This mini-series was not what I thought it was. I thought it was about the escapes from the Colditz POW camp during World War 2 (like the 1960s movie "The Great Escape" was.) Instead it is mostly about romance with the hint of of the camp.
I read books on Colditz and how it was the POW camp for Allied prisoners who had tried to escaped from other camps. It was billed as the only place where escapes couldn't happen. Inspite of its motto soldiers did escape and some even made it back to help fight against the Germans.
While it is not a bad movie it just wasn't what I was expecting.
