Pat Reid and Airey Neave?


I've just ordered the DVD so I'll see for myself how good the film is, however I'm struck by the omittance of Airey Neave and Pat Reid from the character list. They made some big escape attempts, why aren't they featured?

If impersonating a Police Officer is an offence, shouldn't actors be imprisoned?

How can they miss out Airey Neave who made one of the first home runs? That is like making a film of Henry VIII and mising out some of the wives. And wasn't Pat Reid the escape office for some time?

Did they show the french officer who jumped the fench and escaped to spain?

Because ... this crap film does nothing to acknowledge the real event and prisoners of Colditz Castle. It is nothing but a cheap soap-opera written around Colditz. Surely by now you realize that you wasted your money when buying the DVD!
