The Execution

Episode 4 of 7

Sitcom set in occupied France during World War II. Rene is captured by German troops while on a sabotage mission.

General Von Klinkenhoff of the German High Command is to arrive in Nouvion by train. Von Strohm and Geering are not keen to see him as he will find out about their incompetence, so allow themselves to assist the Resistance in blowing up his train. The General survives and various suspects are arrested, but ultimately only Rene is identified as a saboteur and is sentenced to be shot.
