Trivia

The film's opening prologue states: "In 1940, Winston Churchill created a new kind of secret service, the Special Operations Executive, better known as the SOE. One section was responsible for overseeing operations in France. In 1941, a new head was appointed, Colonel Maurice Bookmaster. In 1944, the SOE's "French Section" was deactivated, at a heavy human cost, to ensuring the success of D-Day."

The scene in Holloway prison where the murderess is recruited to the mission, shows her looking out onto a courtyard were a scaffold is erected. Hangings in Britain by this time were conducted indoors in a room adjacent to the condemned cell. Prisoners were not aware of where the gallows was in order to spare them anxiety.

The film portrays events leading up to the events of D-Day, yet the aircraft parachuting the girls into France displays invasion stripes, which were painted onto aircraft at the time of the D-Day landings to ease recognition of Allied aircraft.
