I like any episode that takes them out of Stalag 13 and into a different setting and this is one of them. One thing I don't understand is that if Hogan can get to the General's house and office so easily, why can't he just take pictures of the plan himself? As long as he is with Hedy, the General's daughter, you'd think they would have access to the General's office at any time. (Which they did in the episode.) Simply wait until the General is not available (he is away, taking a nap, in the shower, etc.) Why go through the trouble of risking capture at a party and having his men climb up ropes to get to the office? Just go visit Hedy on a day when the General is not around and take your pictures.

A routine show but worthy of a watch

General Von Behlegur has developed a plan where the German army will begin guerrilla attacks against the Allied armies which could extend the war for many years. Even with the recent losses by the Germans, this plan is something the Allies must stop before it is implemented.

General Von Behler's daughter, Hilda, loves her father very much but is against the Hitler plan for the nation and wants an end to the war as soon as possible. She gets in contact with Hogan and tells him of the plan. The paperwork for the entire operation is in her father's safe and she will help him get the plans to the Allies. But she lets Hogan know in advance that she will do everything in her power to protect her father.

This is another routine script that has Hogan dressing up like a German military officer, which for some reason always fools the enemy, and is able to get into the high offices of the German war machine. Nevertheless, the story is interesting enough to provide some entertaining scenes and funny lines. Nice watch
