How sad is this?

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

But poorly told, in a rather comic-book fashion. Both the allied planning for the post-war recovery of Europe and the nazi planning to escape the debacle and rebuild the Reich in Argentina are worthy of further examination in the cinema. But here we had comic-book heroes with comic-book lines - the token Brit was portrayed as a trouble-making Cockney with a foul mouth and no sense of teamwork. A welcome appearance by Rutger Hauer, alongside Julie Engelbrecht as anti-nazis, raised the level a bit and the idea of Yanks and Ruskies working together in a common cause was well intentioned. But one was left with the impression that this was just another episode of Captain America.

Was this a made for TV movie? Disappointing. Not very well done. Didn't seem to stick to script regarding "Valkyrie."

Watched this movies because of a couple of the actors starring in it and I was not disappointed. Lots of action and intriguing story line. Writing could have been better, but the action and characters kept me interested. A blooper or two--unlimited ammo for the allies, frequent use of the word 'fuck' by one of the characters (especially in front of a woman--unheard of in the 1940s), and one or two time-period wardrobe errors. Other than that, this movie was enjoyable.

According to then-United States Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Vatican cooperation in turning over these "asylum-seekers" was "negligible". According to Phayer, Pius XII "preferred to see fascist war criminals on board ships sailing to the New World rather than seeing them rotting in POW camps in zonal Germany
