it's the end of the war...
Tarts and Flickers - The Gestapo are in drag again, and Von Klinkerhoffen decides to assassinate Hitler with an exploding picture frame! The end is almost here as all thoughts of winning the war by the Germans has gone, now they're talking about surviving the end of the war.
A Fishy Send Off - The Germans play golf, Rene and the Resistance organise a fish float and the episode ends with the second Allied invasion of France (the first one having failed) this time the Germans prepare to flee instead of fight.
A Winkle in Time - In the last hours of the occupation Rene is uncovered as Nighthawk by the Germans and they decide to let him off as it's too late now to do anything about it. The British Airmen return, having been shot down again, and the British army arrive in town to secure the surrender of the german and the capture of their forces, including the Gestapo. The war is finally over with Nouvion liberated. The story then skips forwards many years to when Rene and co are all aged, Gruber, Von Strom & Helga return to Nouvion to see the old sights and meet old friends, they discover the missing portrait of the Fallen Madonna and Rene decides to elope with Yvette at long last. A good ending to the series instead of leaving it open and unresolved. I've enjoyed this marathon a lot, it was good too to watch the whole (and very complicated) plot strands begin, develop, interweave and then finally end, well all but one: whatever did happen to the cuckoo clock?
