[edit] Story Notes

• This is the fifty-second episode produced in the series, but is the fifieth episode to be shown on television and is the eighteenth episode for the second season.
• The title is a reference to the Great Brink's Robbery of January 17, 1950.
• Two Historical figures are mentioned in the episode: Sigmund Freud and Emily Post.
• A speech on the radio by Adolf Hitler is listened to during the episode.
• Although listed in the credits Larry Hovis (Sergeant Andrew Carter) does not appear in this episode.

[edit] Timeline Notes and Specuations

• Per the BBC news report that Klink hears, this episode takes place during the closing days of the Battle of El Alamein, November 7-11, 1942.
• At this point in the war, the Allies had only limited intelligence regarding Germany's rocket programs, and most of it was being supplied by Polish agents behind enemy lines. Any information at all, especially a map marked with potential (V-1?) launch sites, would have been most helpful.
