Wetzler, writing under the name of Jozef Lanik wrote this as fiction based on truth. Hence, his character is handsome and brave and the character based on the person, Rudolf Vrba, is portrayed as weak and not particularly handsome. (he was very handsome).
Wetzler says they brought a Zyklon B label as proof, when in fact, they brought nothing with them other that what they had memorized.
In the movie, they meet the Red Cross. In real life, they were helped to get to Zilina, where they met Jewish Community leaders and in the basement of an old folks home, they were interrogated separately and their joint testimony is what created the Vrba Wetzler Report.
There are too many falsehoods in this movie to give it a higher rating, but having said that, it was quite entertaining, just as long as you do not believe it.
