    I love the little details at the end. "This one sticks. You may need to jiggle it a bit."
    This show is addictive.

    My fav bit is:
    Ben: “so, we meet again!”
    Simon: “you don’t zay zat I zay zat!”
    Ben just has so much sass and angry Simon is hilarious.
    I’m loving the accents too aha

    'So, we met again?'

    'Ahh, I see you like my keys? Well there are 2 things that will never happen. One, you will never win this war. 2, you will never have my keys.'
    -runs in-
    'They have won the war, we have surrender, every man for himself!'

    @theGummaster 1. He's squadron leader higgins. That means he's a pilot, and they were mainly used in ww2. also, pilots in ww2 were the most commonly captured troop, whereas in ww1, the pilot would usually die from the crash (no parachute)

    The singular term Geneva Convention refers to the agreements of 1949, negotiated in the aftermath of World War II. The first Geneva Convention was established in 1864 BUT only 12 Nations signed it.. Switzerland, Baden, Belgium, Denmark, France, Hesse, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Prussia, Spain, and Wurtemburg. The German State of WW2 technically never signed it and thus were not legally under its restrictions.
