An overall excellent historical movie....

I was born and lived in Poland until I was 22. Then, in 1989 I left just before the fall of the Berlin wall. This movie presented me with a part of Polish WWII history that was never taught to me by either the socialist state or here in the West, our "allies". This movie makes you think "what if.." and presents a part of history which could be considered by some taboo, something we should not speak of.

The truth is Poland was used as pawn in WWI, promised alliance by the West (twice) and then, abandoned to Soviets when the Polish problem became inconvenient to deal with Stalin. As I said, many "what ifs" were brought by this film in my mind and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more beyond the established "history".

Trivia
Jan name-drops Lt. Col. David Schilling to scare off the two AAF officers in the restaurant. Schilling was the executive officer of the 56th Fighter group starting from August 1943. He ended the war as the sixth leading ace in the US 8th Air Force with 22.5 enemy kills.

Goofs
Early in the film, at a German staff meeting, one of the officers refers to 'Sir Winston Churchill'. Churchill wasn't knighted (becoming 'Sir') until 1953.
