it's an old classic. There is this American intel officer assigned to meet with
someone important overseas, in Europe, during WWII. I think it was actually based on a true story.
But nazi spies were all over the place there, following him, and soon drugged him at a bar, and kidnapped him.
The whole idea was to find out from him the details of an impending invasion, which was Normandy.
Instead of the gestapo torturing him to get it, they devised an elaborate phony hospital, where everyone was a nazi, but they spoke English. They convince him he had been in a coma for six years, and the Americans won the war. That they were in an American hospital - in Germany.
Quite an amazing story - it was a terrific old black and white classic. That officer?
was played by a younger James Garner.
Eventually, he makes an escape - and the person who he goes to for help - you won't believe who it was. He goes to see a minister in the village.
I'd give the movie an "A".
