Ah, "The Great Escape" starring Igor McQueen. I suppose you needed the swastika as an identifier, but it still gives me the willies to see it in a puzzle.

You're right on both counts, Lollipop.

Norma, I love every single one of your puzzles :)

Thank you, Bill.

No, thank YOU for all of them!

Found to have a unique solution by valerie.

Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by valerie.

Norma, the detail in the image is gorgeous!

Ditto to what Lollipop said about the swastika.

My son happened to peek in while I was solving this. It was awkward...but I knew exactly what movie it was.

I didn't see that movie, but the picture reminded me of the story of the H.A. and Margaret Rey. They were Germans living in Paris when the Germans invaded. If they were caught by either side they would be arrested as spies, so they had to flee the country. They had written a little book for fun about a monkey and thought if they could sell it they might get enough money to leave the country. They sold it, bought bicycles and fled just before Paris fell. From there they headed south with the Germans conquering every city right behind them until they got out of France. And that is how the story of Curious George came to be.

I had never heard that! That is wild!!
