Helmut Probst a.k.a. Paul Seiger: Unlawful Interstate Flight to Avoid Prosecution—Murder.
Original air date: 8 December 1968
This episode was not rerun
Inspector Lewis Erskine hunts down a wartime SS colonel who is still promoting Nazi ideals. They discover a wealthy man, Mark Dryden, who’s financing neo-Nazi groups, and have a difficult time finding this colonel. World War II and the Holocaust was still a fresh memory in 1968, and this episode may be timely in 2019, given the current political climate.
- Ellen Corby, who guest starred in this episode, is (obviously) well known for her role as Grandmother Walton in the 1970s CBS family drama The Waltons. She appeared in many guest roles in this series.
- Paul Sieger steals a 1957 Ford Fairlane (tudor) from Hannah Beecher (Grandma Walton) to aid his escape. This was ultimately his downfall as the car is found in a city outside a Jewish temple where the former SS officer (ironically) had taken refuge.
- Veteran actor Ralph Bellamy (1904-1991) pays a second visit to the series. His career lasted from the early 1930s all the way to 1990 (Pretty Woman).
