spoiler question re: Gestapo list
I must have missed it, but how did Happy's name (Steiner) get on the Gestapo list? How'd they figure out he was a spy?
Thanks.

just watched the film again on dvd.
I think the list was composed of the names of people who were wanted by the nazi state.
Not always their real names but their aliases?
In his case the ss guy thought he was suspicious and used the guy with glasses to spy on him?
Yes, the guy w/ glasses in Army uni was an undercover Gestapo agent #7117
Wonder if that # represented anything???
Who got him on the list? IDK but prob the SS sergeant motorcycle courier.
in VA
It's never explained how Happys name got on the list. During training by the Americans, he is warned that the list was the most dangerous thing he would encounter.
Obviously, the Americans had their own German spies working amongst them.
