Along with its successor (with some holdover cast, but no holdover characters) Secret Army, this was one of the best and most nuanced dramas ever produced about occupied Europe.
The benefit of having different directors for most of the episodes created a wonderfully diverse set of stories and although there is continuity and a beginning, middle and end to the whole saga, they can be watched out of sequence quite effectively.

The actors were great, I am in awe of the courage and sheer guts that the original POWs showed during the long years of incarceration. Here is a glimpse of him from that series.
