Note that the tagline "To all Nazis and Quislings..." may not make sense to modern day moviegoers, but in the early 1940s, it was a common term used by people all over the world to refer to people who betrayed their own country (it was named after the Norwegian Vidkun Quisling, who helped Nazi Germany as it conquered Norway so that he could rule the collaborationist Norwegian government himself).
