It was used by Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy portrayed the General of Infantry Friedrich Olbricht. Nighy was cast to give a sympathetic quality, so Olbricht would not be the “fall guy”. Nighy wanted to convey Olbricht as conflicted between complaining about Hitler’s regime and actually doing something about it. The actor described his portrayal, “One of the most disconcerting things imaginable is to put on a Nazi uniform. It’s so associated with evil that it took me several days to get used to being in costume.”.
It comes with a certificate of authenticity from The Prop Store, auctioneers of film memorabilia.
