the highly subjective Colditz primer and picspam, part 1

As the title says, this is not an objective or comprehensive discussion of Colditz. It's an overview of characters and relationships (some extrapolated from canon, some pure invention) that I may be writing about in my Kink Bingo fics: basically I'm envisioning this as a cheat sheet for anyone who wants to read the stories (THANK YOU!) but doesn't want to invest the time to watch 27 one-hour episodes. I'll avoid major plot spoilers, though, in case you decide to give the show a try.

I have an immensely detailed head-canon for these characters, which halotolerant and I have developed together through our rewatch and tons of discussion. I won't bore you with too much of it but occasionally some will be relevant. And for your viewing pleasure, I've included screencaps and some links to YouTube clips. The clips are of the crap visual quality that you'd expect from YouTube and sometimes the sound and picture are out of synch, but I recommend giving them a look to see how these people speak and relate to each other.
