I know  Paul Henreid, from Casablanca to Night Train to Munich. why him?

Paul Henreid, best known for his roles in Casablanca (1942) and Night Train to Munich (1940), was a significant figure in Hollywood's Golden Age. His appeal lies in several factors:

Iconic Roles: Henreid's portrayal of Victor Laszlo in Casablanca placed him in the annals of classic cinema. As a resistance leader fighting against the Nazis, his character symbolized hope and resistance during World War II. This role solidified him as a strong, principled figure in film history, contrasting with Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine.

Romantic Hero: Henreid’s portrayal of the charming, noble romantic hero resonated with audiences. In Now, Voyager (1942), he starred alongside Bette Davis, famously lighting two cigarettes in his mouth and handing one to her in a gesture that became iconic in romantic film history.

Pre-War Europe Background: Henreid, born in Austria-Hungary, fled Europe due to his anti-Nazi stance. His real-life experiences mirrored many of the characters he portrayed, adding authenticity to his roles in films like Night Train to Munich, where he played a resistance fighter.

Range and Talent: His versatility allowed him to shift between different genres, from romance to war films, embodying characters with depth and strength. He brought gravitas and integrity to his roles, making him a favorite in films that dealt with moral conflict, especially in the backdrop of WWII.

Henreid’s work continues to be remembered for its emotional power, especially during an era where his characters often reflected the real-world struggles of war, resistance, and resilience.

People in the UK, the US, and other English-speaking countries are generally aware that the war began when Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. 

The UK's entry into the war was shortly after, on September 3, 1939, when they declared war on Germany in response to the invasion of Poland. Historical education in these nations commonly teaches these facts, making it unlikely that this is an overlooked event.

As for Austria, it's true that Austria was not invaded in the traditional sense during the Anschluss of March 1938. Many Austrians, particularly those with pro-Nazi sentiments, welcomed Adolf Hitler and the unification with Nazi Germany. However, there were also segments of the Austrian population that were opposed to the Anschluss. The unification was accomplished largely through political pressure and threats of force, but it was not a military invasion in the same way Poland was invaded.

I thought you know if a woman ever loved
you like you love yourself it would be one of the romances of history as I'm unlikely to think of an adequate reply
to that I think we ought to drink a toast Inland expects that every Secret Service man this night shall do his
duty
flat they're ringing your room take it here it looks better hello is that call for me it's
German yes hers up here yes sir I'm sorry to
disturb you at this hour hers up but we have to Al our plans we have just received instructions from headquarters
