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?

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.
