When Captain
Winogrodzki makes a routine visit to the Walmington on Sea platoon,
Captain Mainwaring and his men mistake him for a German spy.
Later, whilst
on patrol, Jones, Walker and Pike capture two German Airmen, hoping
to claim a reward from GHQ, their hopes are dispelled when Captain
Winogrodzki descends on them.
Winogrodzki
deems the soldiers incompetent when the German Airmen nearly escape.
He recaptures the airmen and threatens to claim the reward. However
Captain Mainwaring is shocked when three Germans are taken away
to GHQ instead of two... Is Walker really getting prisoners of
war on the black market and where is Captain Winogrodzki?
