* TheDogBitesBack: Moments before the men are marched out to be shot, Janken stands up to the German guards. He has been chosen as an interpreter because he knows German. The officer compliments him and says that this man would have been a good ''Stuka'' pilot. Janken calmly answers "no, mein herr, I would never be a good ''Stuka'' pilot!" The officer gets furious and whips him over the face. [[MomentOfAwesome Janken smiles and just stares him down]].

* VictoriousChorus: The end of the movie has one. A recurring ThemeTune is used prominently in the movie, and this melody is sung in the camp by one of the prisoners (a gifted singer), used as a sombre funeral tune of some sort: "A rider rides with a grey coat, through the night, get on, get on". At the end of the movie, the song is sung by a full choir, and the sheer effect of this sombre tune rising upwards and changing to a [[DramaticTimpani thundering major chord at the end]], makes the end a CrowningMomentOfAwesome - set against the fact that all the main characters are dead.
