I love the idea. This could be a really fun movie. The premise is insane-wahoo, but that's the heart of its charm. It's simple and direct in its premise, and I think if you punch up the dialogue, you could really have something great here. With a simple, recognizable premise, you can (and probably need to) get a bit fancy with the dialogue. Right now, without a charismatic actor, the character of Jack threatens to come off as a self-centered jerk and you do need us to at least root for the guy. The Nazi dialogue needs some help, especially at the beginning of the movie where it's fairly standard, heard-it-a-million-times-before stuff. The movie's got a good heart and a solid idea, it just needs some sparkling dialogue to really shine.
