The airplane the German Major Strasser arrives in has been misidentified (here and elsewhere) as a Fokker F.VII, but it is in fact a Fokker Super Universal. Only the Fokker Super Universal has a windscreen that is integrated with and at the same height as the leading edge of the wing. Other Fokker types generally have the wing above the windscreen. The Fokker Super Universal appears to have been manufactured and used primarily in America (and in Japan), and for that reason would be an unlikely craft for German officer transport. However, unlikely does not mean it is impossible with the right back story. In any case, more authentic aircraft were surely not available in 1941 or 1942 in Hollywood.
