Trivia

The scenes for Weymouth docks were filmed on the quayside outside the 'M Shed' on Bristol's harbour side. You can see that the railway trucks (obsurcing the modern glassed frontage of the museum) have Avonmouth Docks written on some of them. These docks are at the mouth of the Avon about 4 miles down river from Bristol. See more »

Goofs

Early in the movie, German Wehrmacht (Army) soldiers are operating a truck with a swastika emblem on the door. Guernsey was occupied by regular Wehrmacht troops (319 Infantry Division), so vehicles would have been emblazoned with the Iron Cross. The swastika markings were mainly used by Waffen SS units, which were not posted on the Channel Islands during occupation. See more »
