Summary of Anthony Head's storyline: Hanslick is a Nazi soldier who appears in a few scenes. The episode revolves around a German plan to gain information about RAF activities. This is done by an operative who has infiltrated the Lifeline group and leads downed pilots to a hiding place that is in fact bugged by the Germans. Hanslick appears early on as the leader of a group of soldiers that fakes being killed by the infiltrator as part of the plan. He then appears again in a few scenes reporting progress to Kessler, the officer who came up with the plan. At the end, Kessler is meeting with one of the downed pilots but the pilot is shot by another Lifeline member who fears he may give away the identities of the entire group. Kessler orders Hanslick to find out who was responsible despite Hanslick's protests that he doesn't think one of their men did it.
