Arrival of a Hero
Wounded by a Russian bayonet, air ace and decorated hero Major Mohn arrives at Colditz as the new second-in-command. He announces that Hitler has heard of the successful escape and he is here to enforce discipline and ensure that there are no other escape bids. However he antagonizes all the prisoners – particularly Carter, whose letters to his wife he reads – and the Kommandant wonders if he should get rid of him.
