Did You Know?
| Trivia | Mildred Elizabeth Gillars nicknamed "Axis Sally" along with Rita Zucca, was an American broadcaster employed by Nazi Germany to disseminate Axis propaganda during World War II. Following her capture in post-war Berlin, she became the first woman to be tried for treason against the United States in March 1949. See more » |
| Goofs | Two separate times, Mildred Gillars is escorted by a pair of SS guards who wear black uniforms and display Iron Crosses on the upper left shoulder of their jackets. The SS did not wear black uniforms during World War II (they wore grey) and the Iron Cross was worn on the lower left uniform pocket. The SS guards also appear to wear trousers piped with white stripes, which was something only SS generals wore. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | The end credits state that "the story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious..." Which is clearly not true since the film is based on a true story and includes real historical characters that existed. See more » |

James Laughlin:
America is watching. We must not sacrifice this woman, patriotism covering up a lynch mob! See more » |
