In the phrase "first blatantly anti-Nazi film produced by a major Hollywood studio prior to World War II.", what's the purpose of the phrase "prior to World War II"? That's redundant information.

There should be a citation to Nazi Spies in America by FBI Agent Leon G. Turrou. NY: Random House, 1938, 1939, since the movie is based upon his series of articles which became this book and upon the book itself.

Not redundant. War broke out in September 1939, America was neutral till December 1941. 31.75.236.81 (talk) 16:03, 18 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

I am curious as to how a 1939 movie had scenes that alluded to the invasions of Frane, Belgium, Holland and Norway. Or am I over reading into this? Perhaps these were sabotage and infiltration events just prior to May 1940 when Germany invaded the Low Countries, Denmark and Norway.

The film was released in the summer of 1939; however it was updated and re-released in the Spring of 1940, just as the Battle of France was getting underway.209.172.65.50 (talk) 20:07, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
