    • Trivia
      The assassination scene was shot 6 months after production ended, and was edited into the film in the last moment, only about a month before its premiere.
    • Goofs
      When the SS firing squads are executing the men, there is a very brief close up of a German soldier with his rifle raised and his finger on the trigger. However, the bolt of the rifle is completely open and a cartridge can be seen in the breech not completely seated in the chamber. A bolt action rifle will not fire in such a condition.
