* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Paul and Legat meet in Munich at a jazz club, where among the patrons are several Gestapo officers in uniform. While not technically illegal, jazz music was severely panned by the Nazis as "degenerate music," and it would be very unlikely for a Gestapo officer to be seen in a jazz club, let alone in uniform.

to:

* TheChanteuse: The character played AllForNothing: Hugh and Paul's efforts to [[spoiler: bring proof of Hitler's plans for European war to Chamberlain do nothing to budge him from his current course.]]
* AndIMustScream: Doctors aren't sure if [[spoiler: Lena is aware of her surroundings because she can't move to speak or react, but the fact that she makes a sound once her old friend Hugh appears in her field of vision implies she can and is trapped inside her own mind. ''In Nazi Germany.'']]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Hugh and Paul fail to convince Chamberlain to oust Hitler from power
by Creator/LivLisaFries, declaring war on Germany, though the extra year Chamberlain buys with the false truce is instrumental to the Allies' eventual victory. Proof of Paul's involvement is concealed, saving him from immediate execution, but he's on the Gestapo's radar and it's likely only a matter of time until he's killed. Hugh is disillusioned by politics and will almost certainly never see Paul again, but he plans to join the RAF and fight in the upcoming war. Lena, works as a singer in quadriplegic Jewish woman, is guaranteed to be an early victim of the Holocaust.]]
* DisappointedInYou: Chamberlain hits Hugh with this after Hugh arranges
a club.disastrous meeting between him and Paul. It's more than mutual.



* ForegoneConclusion: Several characters talk about how they want to "stop war". Anobody with the most basic notions of history knows [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII how it ended]].

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: The film's portrayal of Chamberlain is fairly sympathetic, suggesting that rather than being wilfully blind to Hitler's conquest ambitions, Chamberlain is playing for time so Britain can prepare itself for the inevitable war.[[note]]A view supported by Hitler himself, who frequently ranted during his final days in his bunker that he would have won the war if he'd attacked in 1938, before the British were fully armed and ready.[[/note]]


Added DiffLines:

* {{Hypocrite}}: Paul notes how absurd it is for [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire the British]] to condemn Hitler's expansionism, which Hugh readily concedes.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Paul's support of Nazism collapsed in 1935, after [[spoiler: Lena was tortured into full-body paralysis by police for attending anti-Nazi protests and being Jewish.]]
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Paul von Hartmann and Hugh Legat are fictional characters loosely based on Adam von Trott zu Solz, an anti-Nazi diplomat executed for his part in the July 20 conspiracy to assassinate Hitler, and A.L. Rowse, a British academic and von Trott's close friend from his Oxford days.
* RedOniBlueOni: Passionate, [[HairTriggerTemper temperamental]] Paul is the red to cautious, [[TheStoic distant]] Hugh's blue.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: Paul is hardly thrilled to discover Hitler has taken a shine to him.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Hugh and Paul by 1938.
