The Irish uniforms in the movie are well done in terms of accuracy.

I believe there's at least two other movies. I'm really sorry but I can't remember the titles.
Both deal with the idea that Ireland imprisoned any combatant that landed there. They were kept in two separate camps.

One movie was a big '70s war epic. The part I remember most is the Nazi's trying to escape in disguise but stopping to rescue a child drowning in the mill run. In the rescue the uniforms became visible.

The other one, I think, revolved around a football game.
