S2 E11 Confusion of the Generals

As René puts it in his opening speech, it is just a normal Tuesday in wartorn France. After nearly blowing Herr Flick to smithereens, he prepares to flee Nouvion, but is saved at the last minute by Lieutenant Gruber. Herr Flick, following his ordeal, is in bandages and chains – which Helga wastes not time in yanking. Yvette and Michelle of the Resisitance have a heart-to-heart about their feelings for René, during which Michelle admits that he drives her round the twist (tweest). The story ends with a fish truck full of German generals dressed as onion sellers, together with a crowd of French peasants in the guise of German generals. To make sense of any of this, it is best to watch the episode form the series. It will pay rich rewards.
