Episode Summary
EDIT
Outside again, the Colonel finds that the Captain is missing, only his glasses are found. The servant girl Maria cannot be found either, and it turns out that she accidentally mailed herself to Switzerland as a Red Cross package.
Herr Flick and von Smallhousen intercept a message from London and try to send their own message, but Ren catches on and tosses the radio out the window, which leaves the rsistance without a means to contact London, until Michelle thinks of the radio in Lieutenant Grubers little tank.
But instead of getting new instructions, Ren and Edith are found out by the Colonel, Helga and Gruber - who finally learn what happened to Hans.moreless
