It's hard to take a movie about German prisoners of war seriously when they are depicted as wearing full Nazi regalia, complete with swastika armbands, S.S. Death's Head badges and S.S. lightening bolts while imprisoned in the continental U.S.. This is history dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.

Because the writer Kate Connor took the story directly from her grandmother's experiences, I didn't question the reality of Dom's words.
It was for keeping up their morale and discipline, if I recall. Among a few other reasons.
Yes, and I did a bit of research--and, prisoners did in fact wear their uniforms.
shareThat part was true and it was an excellent movie. Back under the bridge with you troll.
