While returning to their lines, Sgt. Saunders and his squad are ambushed by a German troop. Saunders and his men run out of ammunition and are forced to surrender to the Germans. They are taken to a POW camp where they meet Sgt. Tom Akers and a few survivors of the interrogation of the SS Capt. Steiner. Akers and his men are broken and prostrated while Saunders plans a scheme to let Billy escape with the position of the German troops. Meanwhile Steiner selects the coward Pvt. Gates to force Saunders to give information about the Allied forces.
"The Long Way Home: Part 1" is the beginning of the saga of Saunders and his squad captured by a cruel SS Oficer. The plot is engaging but maybe because it is a 1963 TV show, the polite Capt. Steiner seems to be too soft and never cruel for a torturer at least in 2017. But Pvt. Gates proves that he is a cruel man. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Longe de Casa – Parte 1" ("Far Awy Home – Part 1")
