Edward Woodward as Oloff in The Story of Oloff de Wet
Oloff de Wet, sculptor and artist, was the only Briton to be sentenced to death by the Nazi People's Court. He was kept in solitary confinement, manacled hand and foot, for 18 months, and finally tried in Berlin in 1941 and sentenced to death.
The story of his survival for four years in a condemned cell and his eventual escape, is one of the most courageous episodes of World War ii.
