Note that this movie was made right after World War II, and most of it was filmed in Germany, in a reconstructed POW camp. It is the first movie made about World War II German prisoners of war! In the movie, the impostor is only identified as being Czech, but because he was in a concentration camp, one wonders if he wasn't also Jewish, although that is not specified in the movie.
