Note that this was one of the first American movies dealing with German spies committing espionage and sabotage in the U.S. (it is telling that it was by Republic Studios who had little distribution in Europe; at this time, the major studios steered clear of criticizing the Germans or Hitler for the most part, because they did not want to jeopardize their lucrative distribution in Germany). It would not be another year or two before the major studios started making similar movies. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
