History Film / FrankensteinsArmy

* ArtificialZombie: The [[FrankensteinsMonster Frankenstein's Monsters]] in the village are actually horrific cyborgs. The trope is lampshaded and given a huge TakeThat, as, according to Seregei: "Only the Nazis would think of this. Sewing dead people together and giving them knives for hands".
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: handheld 16mm cameras able to film with sync sound did not exist until the 1960s, long after this film is meant to take place, and the Bolex, which is the model actually seen in the film, certainly wasn't one of them. To say nothing of the fact that the film is in color (very unlikely for the time period) and in widescreen (virtually impossible).

* BicepPolishingGesture / FlippingTheBird: Vassili gives a ''Bras D'onneur'' to Dimitri early on in the film.

* BodyHorror: Oh yes. Agonizing cybernetics on several of the monsters, and Novikov is eviscerated by the saw-hand man. Not to mention Eva's [[GoneHorriblyWrong disastrous attempt to help]] remove the helmet of the guy bitten by Razor Teeth...

** [[GraveRobbing The village graveyard is dug up with the bodies missing from the coffins.]]

* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler: Dimitri is forced to try to capture the Doctor, because his parents are captives of his state superiors. Likewise, he has the names of all the squad members families in case they don't cooperate]].

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Some of the monsters made look like they may have been children.

* SubtitlesAreSuperfluous: The Google Play version has absolutely awful subtitles. An entire conversation is missed and [[YouKeepUsingThatWord saws are said to be "drilling".]]

* PsychoSoldier: Vassili is a complete JerkAss who's quick to put his own wounded comrades out of their misery when wounded, attempts to rape Eva pretty much as soon as he sees her, and enjoys torturing anybody the squad comes across.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: handheld 16mm cameras able to film with sync sound did not exist until the 1960s, long after this film is meant to take place.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: There's talk of taking a sniper blind early in the film. We don't get to see them destroy it..

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: InUniverse. At the Doctor's house, Dimitri sees a mockup of the MiniMecha the Nazis wanted pilots hardwired into.

* UnwillingRoboticization: The nazi garrison, [[spoiler: Ivan and Seregei]].

* DistressCall: The Soviets receive a radio transmission from "Tiger-Bear 303", determined to extricate their hard-pressed comrades. [[spoiler: Subverted when the signal is revealed to be coming from ''Dmitri's backpack'', as he's been ordered to lead the squad to Frankenstein's lab so he can retrieve the mad doctor's secrets.]]

* ContinuitySnarl: The title character is explicitly stated to be the grandson of ''the'' [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Dr. Viktor Frankenstein]], but the novel in question took place in the 1700s, making him far too young to not have at least several "Greats" before "Grandson."

* SpinToDeflectStuff: The airplane zombie deflects every bullet fired at it with its DeadlyRotaryFan. It's defeated by cutting it's fuel line, in fact.

** The squad finds a strange skeleton tangled in an electric fence. The skeleton has several metal gubbins on it.

* BilingualBonus: The German officer in the handcart. While you hardly need to know German to catch on that "Nein!" is BigNo, those who ''do'' speak it can tell that he's begging not to be taken, asking for a MercyKill, and calling Dmitri and/or the automaton pushing the cart an ass.

* BilingualBonus: The German officer in the handcart. While many viewers realize "Nein!" is "No!", those who understand German can also catch that he's begging not to be taken, asking to be killed, and calling either Dmitri or the automaton that's pushing the cart an ass.

** Worse, it`s given in the credits as ''the Doctor`s his own mother.''

* AndIMustScream: There's a glass tank in the doctor's living room that contain's [[spoiler: a woman's head attached to a ''teddy bear'' body. Which is ''twitching and whimpering''.]] No explanation is offered, but it's clear there's a ''very'' ugly story behind this particular product of Frankenstein's work.
