As always I would like to thank StarCMC for hosting the following photo's. I think having exDBinmate shedding light on the institution. They are black and white, some are quite old, and hard to see but it gives you a flavor of the institution years ago.

Somewhere else I've read the German POWs received military trials with International Observers and defense counsels etc. It's also significant that they weren't hung till after V-E Day, as Hitler threatened 100 to one reprisal's on US-Brit-Allies.

I had posted another thread a while back about the demolishing of the Castle.

I have taken photo's of what is remaining and also found other photo's for folks to see.

There is a also a former inmate (exDBinmate) who has graciously offered to provide insight inside those stone walls. Check out comments 99 to current if interested.

Thanks to all who have contributed to the thread with photos and first-hand accounts. Special thanks to exDBinmate for a look from inside. It must have taken a lot of courage to make that first post.

I was doing research for this thread, when I stumbled across that amazing art work that I had posted. Thought you might find my research/photo's interesting. There is also someone who actually was incarcerated in the prison who has also offered some thoughts on what I had found and posted. Just a FYI!!
