European actors match 1940s Czech and Nazi characters; fits the historical setting with no visible forced diversity or identity signaling.
Political / ideological dialogue
Characters talk about duty, resistance, and Nazi brutality in period terms; straightforward WWII story without modern activist framing.
Identity-driven story themes
Centers on national survival, friendship, and sacrifice during war; zero focus on race, gender, or personal identity.
