I think the solution is that it was a joke - it's a reference to a previous Tyrone Power film 'A Yank in the R.A.F.' in which he plays an American pilot who joins up to fight against the Germans before America enters the war.
The film also references another of Power's roles. When he meets the old lady in the cinema, they are watching 'Jesse James' in which he starred in 1939. Allusions are also made to various of Marlene Dietrich's famous roles of the 'thirties.
