Trivia
Filming the horrifying scenes of Dachau so traumatized Stevens that upon his return to Hollywood after the war he fell into a depressed state, not working and keeping himself apart from the industry. He did eventually return to directing, but completely left behind his prior style as a great comedic director and helmed only serious movies for the rest of his career.

Quotes
Interviewer: How many ways did they execute these men?
Self - US Navy Lieutenant, Mauthausen concentration camp inmate: [Talking to camera and wearing a P.O.W. uniform] Five or six ways: by gas, by shooting, by beating, that is, beating with clubs... uh... by exposure, that is, standing out in the snow naked for forty-eight hours and having cold water thrown on them in the middle of winter, starvation, dogs, and pushing over a hundred-foot cliff. This is all true, has been seen, and is now being recorded.
Interviewer: Where did you get that uniform you have on?
Self - US Navy Lieutenant, Mauthausen concentration camp inmate: This uniform, uh, I came here in uniform, but it was taken away from me, and this was substituted with my number and "U.S.A.". I have been condemned to death as another American also in this camp, but, fortunately, the 11th Armoured has come through and saved us in time.
