As the war was coming to an end, the final few weeks were very chaotic in Europe and as a result of this it is impossible to put a number on how many prisoners were liberated, a conservative estimate is that 17,000 were saved and transported to Sweden. Anyway this is a very odd film - full-on Kung-Fu bruce Lee style at times - Chinese versus the Nazi stormtroopers!

Despite saving tens of thousands of lives, Sweden's mission to rescue prisoners from Nazi concentration camps on a transport of white buses was fraught with conflict and controversy, including negotiations between its leader Folke Bernadotte and Heinrich Himmler.

The film score was unnecessarily excessive, and also the film didn’t really seem to be realistic- never heard of two wealthy Jews gunning down the Nazis coming to take them away, as well as one of the diplomats Kung fu-ing the brown shirts.I don't like to criticise any film knowing the amount of work that goes into its production but this is absolutely dreadful. What the rescuers found at the camps was beyond comprehension, with many dead and others so malnourished that they were well on their way to being next.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Sponsored by the Swedish Government and led by key Count Bernadotte of Wisborg, the mission became known for its distinctive buses.

Lots of fake blood a la Sam Pekinpah and I suspect Tarantino's awful films like the Inglorius Basterds one (I hate his films) were an influence.
