Goofs
Col. Richter objects to Capt. Staufman saying that the escapees will be shot. Under the Geneva Convention, once the escapees put on German uniforms they became illegal combatants, the same as spies, and lost all protections under the Geneva Convention for POWs. This is something that Col. Richter would have already known.

Quotes
General Frank Savage: Tell you something, Doc: nobody ever wins a war; some just lose more than others.

A worthy follow-up to part one.

This is the second episode of a two--parter which ended season one. Unfortunately, it involves General Savage being taken prisoner...yet again. But fortunately it's well written.

The second episode begins with plans for an escape begin put into motion. It then continues through the escape and ultimately the General and a few other men taking a boat and leaving for open sea....all while the Germans were giving chase.

Like episode one, this one is well written and well worth seeing. It's also quite suspenseful and offers a few surprises.
