History Film / Schtonk

* NaziGrandpa: Old-time Nazi irredentists are featured throughout the film, many as young as Willié (who was a Hitler Youth). Most of them are so far up their own backsides in their cultish reverence of Hitler that they're completely blinded to the obvious fakery of Knobel's forgeries.

* ExcitedShowTitle: ''Schtonk!''

* HateSink: Willié is a sleazy, corrupt, narcissistic, abusive, ungrateful and utterly idiotic Nazi sympathiser who is immediately repulsive to most other characters in the film.

* SinsOfOurFathers: {{Parodied}}. When the Dr. Wieland introduces himself to Freya, Field Marshal Goering's niece, she reminds him that she doesn't feel ashamed of her uncle. Dr. Wieland sheepishly draws a comparison to ''his'' uncle, who was active in LaResistance. [[FlippantForgiveness She concludes that neither of them need to need to beat themselves up over their ancestors' deeds]].

* SinsOfOurFathers: {{Parodied}}. When the [=HHpress=] editor-in-chief introduces himself to Goering's niece, she reminds him that she shouldn't be held accountable for her uncle's deeds. The editor-in-chief sheepishly draws a comparison to ''his'' family, who was active in LaResistance. [[FlippantForgiveness She offers her forgiveness]].

* MasterForger: Ironically, averted. Fritz doesn't even bother to disguise Martha's face on the Eva Braun portrait, which draws a suspicious glance from the guy who bought it when Martha works for him as a maid. He makes his diaries look old by spilling tea on them. He fools a handwriting expert by offering up ''different forged documents'' to compare to the diaries. He even blunders with the covers of his diaries. He attempts to put "AH" on the front of each, buying letters in the old Gothic script. Unfortunately he confuses a [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Old_English_typeface.svg Gothic A for a Gothic H]], leading the editors of the magazine to wonder why the diaries are lableled "FH". (They decide it means "Fuhrer Hitler" or "Fuhrer headquarters".)
