I weas just recalling the scene in "Masters of the Air" where 3 airmen
shot down in a bombing raid are taken underground by the resistance.
They ask them a series of questions (How many home runs did Babe Ruth
hit, etc) and then ask them to write down their names and the date they
were shot down.

They all proceed to walk out from the building and the resistance guy
drops back a step and shoots one of them in the head. He'd written the
date in mm/dd/yy, and so they used that to determine he was european and
a spy.
