  • Trivia The Germans built several submarine bases on the west coast of France after their occupation of the country in 1940. Enormous submarine pens of reinforced concrete were erected at Bordeaux, Brest, La Pallice, Lorient and Saint-Nazaire. These structures protected the U-Boats from attack and allowed them freer access to the Atlantic Ocean, as the submarines did not have to transverse the English Channel or go around the UK via the North Sea from bases in Germany. As of 2020 these massive constructions are still largely intact and some have even been re-purposed. The pens at La Pallice can be seen in Das Boot (1981) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) .
  • Goofs As Corlay and Kerenor are about to enter the pub, a German guard stops them. Kerenor says, "One uncovers. It's good form for the content." They take their hats off and enter. But once inside, only they have their hats off. All the other Frenchmen of the town, and the German officers, have their hats on their heads.

Jean Kerenor : [as he and Metard/Corlay are stopped by a guard from entering a pub] One uncovers. It's good form for the content.

[German officers as well as town folk are seated inside]
