Failure, death of Wolfgang Rosterg The Devizes plot was a failed escape plan for 7,000 German prisoners of war held at Le Marchant Barracks in Devizes . It was scheduled to take place at Christmas 1944, in the belief that there would be fewer guards at the camp and the remainder would be distracted due to festivities.
The camp became notorious following the murder of Feldwebel Wolfgang Rosterg at the hands of other prisoners, with five later executed at Pentonville prison for their role in his death. During the Cold War, Cultybraggan housed a Royal Observer Corps monitoring post and an underground Regional Government Headquarters bunker.
