Allied agents stage a daring raid on a castle where the Nazis are holding an American General prisoner... but that's not all that's really going on.
Junkers Ju-52/3mg4e
Swiss Air Force Ju-52/3m used as Luftwaffe aircraft for this film. Flies the Allied commandos into Bavaria and another one (possibly the same one) rescues them at the end.
Bell HTL-4
Anachronistic Bell HTL-4 in a WWII film! Equipped with German markings, it flies General Rosemeyer to the Schloss Adler. Despite being several years too soon, it is taken for granted by every character and even referred to as a helicopter in dialog.
North American T-6 Texan
Pretending to be German aircraft. Several are seen at the airfield. Smith cripples them by running into them one at a time with the bus so they can't take off and follow the Junkers.
