I was almost done with this show after episode 5, which was very hokey Hollywood crap. This episode was the complete opposite. We get a trial of Hitler that goes very much like it would in real life, in my opinion. The circus of a trial, the prosecutor who assumes he has the easiest job in the world, the faithful defense lawyer, and the narcissistic criminal who denies everything. The emotions run strong as witnesses give testimony. I have to imagine this might give some comfort to those who wish Hitler had been alive to stand trial for his crimes. After the trial is great, too. Without spoiling anything, the Colonel and Travis's scene was also amazing yet believable.
But for the trial alone, this episode is one of television's best moments. It shows a fantasy that would've been easy to make into a caricature, and I love that they didn't take the easy route.
