French Colditz POW

[POWCollector]

Dear All,

 

I am trying desperately (and unsuccessfully) to research a French officer who was captured in May 1940 and wound up at Colditz Castle, Oflag IV-C for his escapes.

 

I have found his name (Captain Jean Tarrade) in Pat Reids book on Colditz but I wonder if anybody knows of any other books about Colditz perhaps written by the French?

 

I am desperate to find details of how he escaped his previous camps as the LOH recommendation doesn't go into detail and to find out of any clandestine activity at Colditz itself.

 

I would be very appreciative of help and would be willing to pay anybody who could procure service records etc if they exist. 

 

He went on to serve in French Indochina and North Africa post war.

 

Many thanks,

 

Rob
