Colditz Castle

What famous WW2 British commander was imprisoned in Colditz castle.

Hint: It has to do with my favorite topic. :lol:

 

All right, I'll give you a clue. His first name was David.

 

David Niven?

He was the commando who blew up Fortress Navaronne.

 

Nope, sorry. Guess again.

 

Quiz

'Copperfield'?
He had great expectations but a dickens of a job on the escape committee!
Bowie?
Got it...............Beckham!

 

Nope, sorry. His last name begins with S.

 

Sterling, mayhap?

 

Yep. David Sterling, founder of the SAS.

 

Did he do sterling job when founding the SAS?

 

Dunno what you mean sorry :-?

 

Another question. Who replaced David Sterling, as commander of the SAS?

 

English colloquialism, if you wanted to say someone had done well at something you might say that they'd done a sterling(Sp?) job, so David obviously did a Stirling Job when he created the SAS.

It kinda looses it's humour when you have to spell it out word for word... :roll:

 

Sorry. I'm Australian, so that's why I didn't know what you meant.

 

Wasn't it Bob Sterling his Brother?

 

Dunno. :-?
