Jack Gerson Death's Head Berlin


(4.9 étoiles; 9 critiques)

Set in Germany in 1934, Death's Head Berlin follows Ernst Lohmann, a dedicated policeman who is willing to do his job even if it means displeasing Hitler. As members of the Party begin to be murdered, Hitler has no choice but to call on Lohmann to lead the investigation.

This gripping drama features a talented cast, including Bob Peck as Lohmann, and is directed by Peter King. Experience the tension and intrigue of a time when loyalty and duty were put to the ultimate test.

Not dated

In my review below when I said "historical piece" I meant it being set in the 1930s, pre WW2. Sorry that was not clear. The production is in no way dated and would stand up well today - rather better than most current drama. Yes, some radio drama has dated but not this one. I would add that many of the dated plays also have their own charm and impact. Not all that is newer is better. Thank you Radioannouncer. I check your site most days to see what treats have arrived. I usually review only the very best, of which this was one. Lohmann's (Bob Peck) dry summary of Hitler is, alone, probably worth the listen.

hmmm


A ripoff of a Philip Kerr novel ?

Well worth a listen.


Thank you very much! Sadly Saturday-Night Theatre production ended in the 1990's. Recently they have cut back on the number of Radio Drama productions. I agree that some of the SNT are beyond their freshness date but still deserve an airing. Radio Drama is a rarity these days.
