- TriviaNigel Stock, who plays Cole, mentions digging the tunnel 25 feet deep to stay hidden from the microphones. In The Great Escape (1963), he played Cavendish, the surveyor, who miscalculated the length of the tunnel.
- GoofsWhen Sergeant Major Coward is discussing linking up with the Polish Underground, he is told that the agent is an optician somewhere in Poland, in Breslau. Breslau was, in fact, a German city and did not become Polish until after WWII when the boundaries of Poland were shifted westwards and the name changed to Wroclaw.
- Quotes
Narrator: There's a man named Charlie Coward, an ordinary soldier with an ordinary background. But sometimes there's a man that stands out from the crowd. He's more resourceful, more daring and more determined than the others. Sergeant-Major Coward was one of these - this is his story.
