Colditz Stoolball[edit]

Some mention should be made of the stoolball games invented and played at Colditz POW camp in WW2, if only to state that there is no connection between the two, despite the same name. I only came across this site looking to see if stoolball (Colditz game) were in Wikipedia - to find this article. For a description, see Pat Reid’s "Fhe Colditz Story" Chapter 5.

I understand this is a late response but a quick search turned up the following: "Not to be confused with the game called stoolball played by the prisoners-of-war at Colditz castle during World War II." [1] CheckersBoard (talk) 08:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
