At the end of the movie when Van Johnson is fatally machine-gunned, the shadow of the cameraman is briefly seen twice.

Quotes
Sgt. Hans Von Kroner: Are you treating me this way because you're a German?
Sgt. Ludwig: No, because I'm a human being. I'm gonna tell you something you may not understand. I've got friends and relatives inside Germany. They're good and decent people. They didn't want this war. They didn't want to conquer the rest of the world. I got a feeling that there must be millions just like 'em.

An unintentional laugh riot?!

I just saw this picture screened in an old 35mm release print. I thought this would be a companion piece to that other WWII Van Johnson bore-fest, THE ENEMY GENERAL. However, this one was hysterical! Right from the get-go the acting, as well as the tone of the production was broad and inept (verging on HOGAN'S HEROES territory) all the while parading as a serious WWII yarn. Watch for Dick York and a scenery chewing Larry Storch (pre-"Bewitched" and "F-Troop" respectively.) And BTW, the stark black and white photography was excellent (when not resorting to stock footage of the actual war.) Definitely a "so bad it's good
