After a run of highly tense and dramatic episodes, this one is more of a plot build up one as the pieces are being moved into place for later in the season. Heidi is turning out to be the monster we might have suspected as she plots the 'clearing' of nearby towns, working out which of the locals can be German-ized and who is heading for the camps. She also disposes of the Jewish office workers with barely a thought. Meanwhile, Sinclair's decision to send to green rookies to Poland to help the team maddens Krystina, although when the true reason emerges, it is pretty chilling.. Albert is getting friendly with the local station master and his attractive daughter to try to track shipping in the area, while Faber tries to find out what Operation Marigold is. Sabine finally seems to be coming on side after realising the locals did not 'donate' their clothes to the needy Germans!
The show has set some very high standards for tension and drama, but this episode's best moments were less high stakes. The unfolding horror of Heidi's work, the realisation that the young raw recruits were sacrificed for the mission, Harry getting a letter from his niece. A quick shout out to Morten Suurballe who plays Sabine's father, Schmidt and is really effective as a scary Nazi!
