What annoyed me about this movie was that they gave away the key element in the first minutes.
In the book, the fact that Deidre was sent as live bait to the Gestapo/SD to validate the lie that the main landing was to be in the Pas-de-Calais was not revealed to the very end - after all the British and Americans are "good" and would not do anything like send a woman on a suicide mission.
The American Major, Tom O'Neil, who stared off with high morals soon learn the reality of war and the need to loose ones morality for the good of is country. This is the "fall from grace" Shame, they took a great book with a real shocker and blew it
