Jan Smudek - the real Laszlo from Casablanca

In one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed films, Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart
finds himself torn between choosing to be with the woman he loves, or
helping her escape with her Czech husband Victor Laszlo. The latter’s
story seems to have been inspired by a real man - Czechoslovak resistance
fighter Jan Smudek, whose story is no less adventurous than in the famous
picture.
