A few days ago gas showed me a few maps you have
on the server.One in particular is called temple of kail.
In the top of one of the buildings is a glider aiming out
3 large windows.I have searched for this and in the war the
glider was made by the prisoners in colditz but never flown.
There is one photo of the glider and a very interesting story.
Unfortunatly no one knows what happened to it which is a
shame but i am sure someone would have tried to remake it.

That is correct sir a fact that few know about.........................and a bit of movie or hollywood trivia there was a movie made about that location and prisoners .................as far as the movie goes it was based loosely on the Actual event.............the movie starred clint eastwood, Richard burton and a few others that i cant recall at this time.

the movie was called (WHERE EAGLES DARE) ........:)
