I got the boxed-set. I remember my Mum (again...) had a thing about the German security officer. Wasn't he about the only German actor in that? He looked the part, though. And in the way that some of these characters were fictionalised for film and TV, I think he was loosely based on a bloke called Reinhold Eggers (are you reading this, Reinhold?) who himself wrote a book.
By all accounts he was a pretty good Eggers, too...
