Directed by: Paul Wendkos, Jud Taylor
Starring: Christopher Reeve, Judd Hirsch, Charles Haid, Tony Denison
Factual error: Colonel von Lindeiner was not executed. He testified to the investigation into the Gestapo murders and died in 1963 at the age of 82.
Factual error: Johnnie Dodge wears no medal ribbons. Even if the real Dodge had not had the DSO, DSC and MC, it would be inconceivable that a major who had fought in two world wars would have no campaign ribbons.
