The DU Lounge

The historical accuracy is outstanding, well researched. The actors all had real person portrayals, basically all they did was change their names. All the actors were very believable and genuine. All live or documentary footage, no CGI or elaborate tricks. A very powerful and well written story. No subplots.

A side note: MacIIIhenny (played by Robert Arthur) was the clerk and stowaway gunner. He was based in real life on Sgt. Donald Bevan who was shot down and spent time in a POW camp. Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski, who also was a POW in a different camp, co-wrote the film Stalag 17.
