Dear English-speaking and writing friends!

My dear mat Hoffman for long time tried to talk me into making a page for "Seventeen moments of Spring" on TVTropes. The main obstacle is that I've never seen the series (oops!).

Of course, I know what's it all about and remember the crucial moments, such as Katherine Kinn interrogated by evil SS-woman and Stierlits making wolves of matches in jail. But it is not enough.

Who will join us for help? It's a shame that such a cult TV series are not presented on tvtropes.org.

UPD. Well, let's get started

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeventeenMomentsOfSpring

What is needed exactly? Convenient TV-tropes that you remember. Personally I coud pick:

Sadistic choice - when SS-woman threatens to freeze Kat's baby to death unless she gives up the name of resident.

Better to Die than Be Killed - professor Pleischner casted himself from the window to avoid being captured and tortured by Gestapo.

Magnificient bastard - Shellenberg.

Rewarded As A Traitor Deserves - Klaus.

What else?

In comparison with my grade of knowledge anyone knows better.

Well, ok.
But, what are you going to write about? Plot, characters, cultural influence like anecdotes, etc...?

No, plot must be just briefly mentiioned, we could simply make a link to Wiki.

We have to pick some TV tropes that took place in film, and make a cross-links to related articles.

Don't know how it calls on TVTropes: soldier who prefers to act as human rather than follow the order - Helmut.

I'd relate this to Big Damn Heroes^ http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigDamnHeroes

Also don't know name of trope - general in the train, who hates Nazi politics and is sure that Germany is going to lose, but in public acts as German jingo because of his rank.
