Alternate Versions
Polish authorities protested against a scene in which soldiers dressed in Polish uniforms executed Jewish prisoners. The poles didn't have any "Quisling army" during the war. The scene was trimmed and now shows the rifles and the arms of the soldiers in question. Even so, both versions apparently remained in circulation as Danish TV originally showed the original version, and Swedish TV the trimmed version within weeks of each other.

As a family member of one of the actors I cannot give a true statement.
It would be considered one sided and biased.
BUT as a person into WWII history I personally feel it was very well documented and was more realistic than one thinks.
This movie was to true to life in some areas that it makes one think of Shindlers List.
One gets the sense that the war was more personal with hitler than one think.
When the Captain finally realizes that hitler is not playing with all oars in the water is the part of the movie that really makes sense.
