History Heartwarming / Stalag17

* Cookie mentions that Sefton pays him 5 cigarettes a day to take care of the mice, but Cookie (like Sefton) is only ever seen smoking cigars, meaning that Sefton made sure that Cookie is getting 'spending money' and not just smoking his pay away.

* When everyone steps forward to take the blame with Animal for dirtying the commandant's boots, there's no indication in the wide shots that Sefton didn't step forward.

* Sefton and Dunbar are fellow Boston natives, but take an almost instant dislike to one another due to their very different socio-economic backgrounds (although it's implied that at least some of it is due to Sefton failing officer school while Dunbar passed), with the former spending a lot of time baiting the latter for his wealthy, privileged background. But when the critical moment comes, it's Sefton who ends up saving Dunbar's life by escorting him out of the camp and (hopefully) to freedom.

** When the commandant is gloating over the deaths of Manfredi and Johnson, Animal uses Joey's ocarina to splash mud on Scherbach's shiny boots. Joey - already suffering from shell-shock - doesn't take it well. But later on, the guys had a new ocarina created for him for Christmas, and Joey's frozen face breaks into a smile.

** Animal is seen carving a new ocarina to replace the one he broke.

** The men take a moment from filling in the tunnel to show respects to the fallen. Even Sefton extinguishes his cigar and removes his hat for them.
