This week's offering is a gripping combination of war film and spy thriller based on a real life Allied program to recruit German POW's to spy for them behind German lines. Richard Basehart, Gary Merill, and Oskar Werner star. In English with Spanish subtitles.

Sorry about the subtitles, btw. My other source for the film was deleted a while back.

This is a real sleeper. Even if I piss you off 5 times a day, watch this. This is the best snapshot of the front line security measures the Germans used against their own that ive ever seen.
It has a real time and place feel and a ton of realism filmed in the rubble. Don’t miss it guys.
Sounds good ping
Excellent film! A real look at Germany in the last years of the war—with tight control of everyone by the government.
Filmed amid actual ruins.
Just finished watching the whole thing —extremely good post, great movie.
Poor guy.
Thanks..! ^_^
