The incident provided much of the material for the final episode of Secret Army, a BBC drama series about the Belgian resistance in World War II. The Italian-Yugoslavian film The Fifth Day of Peace (Italian title: Dio è con noi;1969) dramatised the story of the two German sailors.[2] The 2006 Dutch film Black Book by director Paul Verhoeven includes the execution of a major character which is directly (but loosely) based on this incident.
