Violence: Following an attack from a German patrol, a woman is shot in the stomach and mortally wounded; blood is briefly visible on her hands as she clutches her wound, although there is no sight of the injury.
Threat and horror: There are scenes of threat when the British are threatened by armed Germans. A man also becomes stuck in quicksand.
