* AdolfHitlarious: Yup, that's Hitler alright. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]: he isn't exactly played for pure comedy, but his LargeHam ranting and the ridiculous cape he wears in his first scene make him come across as somewhat laughable.



* DemotedToExtra: Hitler was featured prominently in the trailers, and considering his role in the war, you'd think he'd be one of the main villains. But no, he gets less than five minutes of screen time, and does absolutely nothing throughout the film.
