Stawka wieksza niz zycie

Legendary series for people from most of the ex-communist countries. Stanislaw Mikulski is great as Hans Kloss (and looks very good in the German uniform). The story is very good and really captivating. There are some false informations about a war in Poland (eternal friendship with Soviet Union!). But there is not so much communist propaganda as in for instance "Czterej pancerni i pies". It's old, but still good. Watch and enjoy the adventures of the Polish spy in Abwehra!

I had a blast watching this series.I found it on ebay and bought a region 0 PAL boxset that was remastered. The quality of this TV show is just as good as any US TV Show I grew up watching here in the USA. I would suggest this to anyone who enjoys WW2 or spy thrillers.The opening credits and the music just draws you in and then you get a great decently acted series with cool sets and costumes.

The episodes all have decent story lines that range from 1943 - 1945.The last episode takes place after the war ends and Kloss helps to uncover the men who murdered a bunch of civilians. Check it out.You won't be let down.

This is one from the two best Polish series (the second call "Czterej Pancerni i Pies"). I think that J-23 (captain Klos) is good (or maybe better) as James Bond. His dialogs with Herman Bruner are excellent and many of them we used daily. And now Mr. and Mr. Kaczynski would like removed this top series from Polish TV because is to communistic and show not true story. I think that those two guys (President and Prime Minister of Poland) are not serious and recall his man (chief of Polish Television) for improve his decisions and we still can see Klos and Bruner on TV screen and heard: "Bruner nie ze mna te numery" and many others sentences.

This movie has been made during communist regime in Poland and therefore showed Poles as allies of Stalinist Russia. It was not true. The independent Poland performed its own secret secret operations against 3rd Reich and the Stalinist Russia did the same but not in alliance. Many best Polish stars have played, shootings were very realistic. The film was very popular in Poland, in the USSR and in... Denmark. In some cases Germans have been shown as stupid slaughters. For example, second lieutenant (Oberleutnant) Kloss has been awarded by Iron Cross by Hitler (shown from the back, however) for discovering a plot against main Nazi leaders. Wilhelm Canaris is also shown (a part of face only). The role of a SS officer Brunner (Emil Karewicz) is a masterwork.

Anyone who knows a little about Polish cinema knows that stawka collects all best supporting actors.

Emil karewicz created the best villain in decades.
