I don't know if Mr Charles Upham would like to say he was "rescued" from Colditz, however it was the American Army that first liberated the Colditz Castle on the 16th April 1945.
Subsequently, most POW's held in Colditz Castle were arranged forthwith to return to their respective countries. Charles Upham however had other ideas, and as the Colditz Castle Kommandant had already surrendered to the POW's inside Colditz and made the castle's armoury available to the POW's, Upham took weapons from the armoury and proceeded to leave the castle and continue on his quest to fight the German's.
However it was not to be - when he was identified by the Americans in the town as Charles Hazlitt Upham, VC winner, he was ordered to return to Britain along with the other POW's.

Tally Ho!
The Pimpernel
I also was looking for the answer to this question. First, I think the movie name you are trying to think of is "Where Eagles Dare". That is a great WW2 film with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. However, no gliders. Based on the answer by the Pimpernel, I rented "The Colditz Story" from Netflix, 1957 version. Fun movie, however again no gliders. Historically there were gliders built and used at Colditz castle, but not in this movie. So I'm trying again. It appears there was a movie made for TV in 1971. That fits with the time period I remember watching the movie on this subject, so I think that is what the Pimpernel was referring to..."The Birdmen", starring Doug McClure, Chuck Connors.
