"the story of a group of Allied soldiers" -- I'm not sure that this is precise. It seemed to me that all the POWs in this film were American, with the possible exception of Russian women in another section that I don't think were shown.

Yes I thought that as well. But you do see the Russian women in one scene so I suppose "Allied soldiers" is probably the best description.

I don't know if von Scherbach's first name is ever mentioned, but I strongly doubt it is Otis. Clarityfiend 05:40, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a dumb question. Is there any reason this is part of the Alvin and the Chipmunks category? 24.62.27.66 04:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to imdb, the soldier singing at the Christmas party is none other than Ross Bagdasarian, aka David Seville. Clarityfiend 03:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Movie a Farce

At the end when the Spy is exposed and Sgt escapes, the POWS go to sleep while the German look at the body of dead Spy. In real life the Germans would have:
- 1) Mounted a search mission for escaping POWS and probaly caught them
- 2) Demanded who exposed the spy
- 3) At the minunum shot 5 men in revenge
- 4) Turned the rest over to the Gestapo & Concentration Camps
