Outline

The airmen, having been taken to the mortuary after their “deaths”, are tunnelling into the nearby prisoner-of-war camp. The cafe staff must help them, but the Gestapo have been listening in on René’s radio conversations with London. The prisoners are tunnelling from their end, and as the two tunnels meet, the cafe staff, Michelle, Von Strohm, and Geering are in the tunnel behind the airmen. The Colonel gets stuck, but freeing him causes the tunnel to collapse behind him and everyone is stuck in the prisoner-of-war camp – just as General Von Klinkerhoffen is about to perform an inspection.

• This episode features the last appearance of Francesca Gonshaw as Maria Recamier.
• This is the fourth time in the entire TV series when Hans Geering can be heard giving the full “Heil Hitler” salute (to Colonel).
