Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The BBC1 miniseries Kessler was a spin-off of the wartime drama Secret Army. The year was 1980: Having eluded capture by the Allies, former S.S. officer Ludwig Kessler (Clifford Rose) was living in anonymity in South America. A group of dedicated "Nazi Hunters" set about to track down Kessler and bring him to Europe, there to stand trial for war crimes. The six 50-minute episodes of Kessler were telecast in Great Britain beginning November 13, 1981.
