This is a wonderful, well written, well acted series. Although only six episodes were made, the characters were well fleshed out...there were many touching moments, and interesting plot lines. While the realism of the show was doubted by some, many scenes were just heartbreaking. As usual, however, while the show centered on British POWs in a German stalag, the most interesting character was not the lead. Anatole Taubman's portrayal of 'Kommandant Dreiber' was outstanding...the character's growth over six episodes was a combination of great writing and great acting. In the end, he was the most sympathetic character. All-in-all, this is definitely worth viewing.
