A really interesting thing to me about NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH was that it actually depicted a concentration camp (surely one of the first in an Anglophone film?) but without any real sense of what they were actually like

It comes off as a work camp where you get beaten if you're disobedient. Not great or anything but not a world-historic horror

My impression is that it is only really in 1941 and 1942 that the reality of what was happening began to filter into the US/British press. Wiki says the film is 1940, so at that point, they probably thought they were being gritty and 'real.'

Right, that's what I find really interesting - it's released in that short historical window *after* the UK declared war on Germany (and so would willingly depict them as enemies) but *before* the enormity of the Holocaust was understood

Yeah, and yet still before that more awkward window where the evidence existed for at least some of the enormity of the Holocaust to be understood, but where it hadn't yet sunk in to the general public and wasn't always fully acknowledged even by allied leaders.
