SPOILERS AHEAD! The team head for Poland and have a highly eventful rail journey. While Aurora tries to build bridges with Sabine, her friend Heidi appears, but before long, the train is attacked by Polish resistance fighters. They take Franz hostage, demanding the release of captured resistance members. Meanwhile, Harry, Alfred and Neil are loaded into a cargo wagon with Jews being shipped to labour camps. Faber's plans to take them from the wagon as a way of getting them to Poland is thwarted as he is now a prisoner himself. After the women and children are unloaded and more Jewish men are loaded, it is clear the train is heading for the death camps. After working with the other prisoners to escape, many are shot down by the Nazis - including Harry! I must admit I always found Harry pretty obnoxious, especially after his revolt against Aurora last season, but I was still surprised to see his demise in this episode. For the show to have any semblance of realism, the casualty list has to be high. Not sure how many resistance agents survived for long, but not that many I would assume. The standoff between the Polish resistance and the Fabers, Aurora and Heidi on the train was very tense and exciting. Aurora had to try not to give herself away on several fronts. Heidi shows there is more to her than just a feisty society girl. She recruits Aurora for a job being 'the pioneers of the new Germany.' Will she be an ally or (more likely) a dangerous enemy?
