this has great video and sound, but as for the film, why do the Nazis have perfect upper class English accents? and hey so do the Jews! How you could take this film seriously with such a ridiculous aspect is beyond me, So do the British Army all speak in French?
Taken from IMDB:-
If the movie is set in Germany, why do they have English accents?
Because it's a British-made film with British actors (albeit filmed in Hungary). Had it been made in Hollywood it would have had American actors speaking English with American accents or fake German accents. To have the movie take place in German, the British film-makers would have had to either: 1) hire and be able to communicate with German actors, 2) teach German to the English actors, 3) have the actors use fake German accents, or 4) subtitle the movie in English. (1) and (2) would have been expensive, (3) would have been comical, if not offensive, to the audience, and (4) would drive off a large portion of the viewers who don't like reading subtitles.
