Whats the name of the war film where Allies take over the camp and dress as Germans?
I seem to remember a war film where the allied prisoners (not sure whether they were British or American) take over the camp and over throw the Germans running the camp. They dress as the Germans to fool the camp inspectors but end up running the camp as the Germans had done so, and even speaking in German whereas some of the Allies end up essentially as prisoners again. Then the Allies liberate the camp and the fake germans protest that theyre actually on the same side, but the test employed to check this claim out was to punch them in the stomach and see whether they swear in English or German. They invariably swear in German and then are treated as Germans. What is the name of this film? Its been bugging me for ages!
I’m not sure about your movie. In Von Ryan’s Express, Frank Sinatra and other POWs take over the camp towards the end of the war because alot of the germans had run away. They had to dress as Nazi’s and drove a train to get to allied territory. This may contain your scene, but I don’t remember it.
