I was wondering if they were going to include a plot line of shot down airmen that will have to try and get back to England through occupied Europe. Based on some hand to hand fighting scenes in there it looks like it does


My dad's aunt married a guy who was shot down over Europe. The Red Cross would collect the names of prisoners and Walter Winchell would announce them on his weekly radio show. That's how they learned he was captured and not dead.

My dad's uncle was shot down and captured by Vichy French troops. Being a Coonass, he spoke French, and they passed him off as one of their own, and got him back to the Allies.
