    • Trivia
      At the time this was one of the highest budgeted films ever to be made in Italy (behind The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) which was partially financed with American money through United Artists).
    • Goofs
      The "Spitfires" in RAF roundels are actually Hispano Buchons, a Spanish-built derivative of the Messerschmitt 109, while the Messerschmitt 109s are portrayed by Spitfires (either real or models) painted in Luftwaffe colours.

      Captain Paul Stevens: How would you like to wake up one morning and find out that the Germans have invaded England.

    "If Hitler were to land in England now the only opposition he would find is the Boy Scouts"
    From the director of the original 'Inglorious Bastards', this war film contrives rather cheekily to transpose the English-speaking Germans behind enemy lines from the Ardennes Offensive to the aftermath of Dunkirk; while there's plenty of dramatic spectacle on what was doubtless a fraction of the sort of budget Tarantino later had to play with.
