The second half of the game of cat-and-mouse between General Savage and his captors plays out extremely well, with new levels of complexity and suspense added at each turn. The only real flaw is what the two-part episode's plot does to the series, which did try for a certain degree of verisimilitude. The fact is that Allied personnel who successfully escaped from German P.O.W. camps were not normally permitted to go on missions over or within enemy territory again -- the risk being that, if they were captured again, they might be forced under torture to reveal their previous means of escape and what assistance they received, thus endangering members of the underground and other P.O.W.s. Thus, this two-part episode should have ended General Savage's opportunity to command missions over Axis territory.

A worthy follow-up to part one.

This is the second episode of a two--parter which ended season one. Unfortunately, it involves General Savage being taken prisoner...yet again. But fortunately it's well written.
The second episode begins with plans for an escape begin put into motion. It then continues through the escape and ultimately the General and a few other men taking a boat and leaving for open sea....all while the Germans were giving chase.
Like episode one, this one is well written and well worth seeing. It's also quite suspenseful and offers a few surprises.
