Foyle is instructed to look after Karl Strasser, a Nazi defector and former member of the SS, now living as a Danish citizen under the house of Mrs Stevens. Strasser is key to British intelligence, but also wanted for war crimes by the US.
Foyle's War by this stage has definitely morphed into something different, I'm sure when the show was devised it's popularity was somewhat underestimated, this MI5 direction could have gone either way, personally I think it was a rousing success, with Sunflower easily one of the best latter episodes.
A brilliant story, the conflict between those seeking justice and wanting the Nazi's put on trial, and those that wanted to take advantage of the intelligence of those individuals who were quickly transported out of Germany. You can fully believe in the animosity felt towards Karl. There are enough twists in the plot to keep you guessing all the way through.
The acting is fabulous, Lars Eidinger was superb as Karl Strasser, giving a commanding and believable performance. He makes you dislike Lars instantly. Once again Ellie Haddington is brilliant as Hilda Pearce, her character has been a superb addition to the show.
