Series 1, Episode 7 - The Dance Of Hitler Youth

The Colonel organises a party in the café, purportedly to celebrate the burning of the Reichstag, but in fact just to get Flick out of his apartment whilst it is broken into.

Further details

The Germans celebrate the burning of the Reichstag (by having the young girls of Nouvion dress as Hitler Youth and perform Bavarian dances). Meanwhile, René and Edith don disguises to attempt to substitute a forgery of The Fallen Madonna for the real painting.
