    If you look it up they’re actually saying something like “we’re Czech not German” right before they get popped which makes it even more awkward.

      Yeah iirc that’s meant to be a dark reference to conscripted German Czechs. That’s the closest Spielberg can get to empathizing with someone in eastern Europe

      “we’re Czech not German”

      Considering the usual anglo opinions and their history with Slavs and Germans, admitting to being Czech worsened their situation a lot.
