Dick Player makes an escape but suffers dreadfully because of ongoing bad weather and rain and at one point is given a lift by an SS officer. He becomes sick, runs out of money, and eventually tries to get help from the American consulate who turns him down. This in reality was the circumstances of an escape by Anthony Murray 'Peter' Allan.

At the 48th Minute and 20thSecond there was a scene that made me cry and really felt the British World War 2 heroes sacrificed a lot. It made me cry when even An American Diplomat could not help a British Airman in Vienna Austria, Pre-December 1941

Likable is an acceptable spelling of likeable. So says my spell-check anyway. XD

Can't any of you read? He meant the *chubby* officer that *picked him up* when he was standing outside in the rain. The officer even said that if his own driver wasn't on leave, his driver wouldn't have bothered to stop.

It's based on the experiences of Colditz POWs and in some places it's realistic. Dick Player's escape is based on Peter Allen's. Also Maj Pat Reid MBE MC was technical advisor on the show, and he'd written about his experiences in two best-selling books.
