"Stalag 17" When Johnny Comes Marching Home

"Stalag 17" is a movie about Airmen in a German POW Camp in WWII. In this scene the men of the Stalag are gathered an are singing a rousing song. They have beaten a man whom they assumed was a spy passing messages to the Germans and he can be seen in a bed in the scene. The real spy however is the main focus of this scene. Price, played by Peter Graves, takes the opportunity of the men being distracted by their fun to retrieve his hidden pack and provide a message to his bosses. He inserts the message into a chess piece and pulls down the light to indicate the message is there, he then returns to the celebration, with everyone none the wiser except perhaps the beaten suspected spy. Watch the movie to find out, it is a great film. Enjoy!
