** For 1942's ''Film/TheGreatKing'', the thousands of extras were readily available [[UsefulNotes/NazisWithGnarlyWeapons Wehrmacht soldiers]] dressed in 18th century soldier costumes.
** 1943's ''Film/Titanic1943'' was likewise made with the full backing of the Nazi propaganda ministry, and consequently with German military support. The filmmakers were given use of the liner turned naval auxiliary ship ''Cap Arcona'' to stand in for the titular vessel, provided a number of Kriegsmarine sailors to serve as extras, and were even granted special permission to ignore wartime blackout restrictions when filming at night. This assistance would turn out to have fatal consequences for Herbert Selpin, the film's original director, however. After having numerous takes ruined - and numerous actresses terrorized - by the boorish behavior of the often drunk Kriegsmarine extras, Selpin complained a little too loudly and angrily; when word of his tirade reached Berlin, Selpin was arrested and soon after died in Gestapo custody under suspicious circumstances. In a further tragic irony, the ''Cap Arcona'' herself would be sunk in the last days of the war, with a loss of life over three times that of the ''Titanic''.
*** In yet another bit of irony, despite the heavy government involvement in the production and its intended use as anti-British and anti-capitalist propaganda, the ministry would ultimately [[BannedInChina ban the film from being shown within Germany itself]] and restricted to screenings in occupied territories only; it was felt that scenes of people drowning might hit a little too close to home in a country whose navy was being systematically hunted to destruction. In a final ironic twist, the film ended up being a hit anyway, with some of its effects shots even being lifted for use in the later British film ''Film/ANightToRemember''.

* In the Swedish film ''Film/TheManFromMajorca'' this happened in a very under the table way. The car chase scene was shot without permission and the film team was arrested by officers dressed as a civilians. But when they recognized Sven Wollter, famous from his previous police role in ''Film/TheManOnTheRoof'' they said "Aha, a colleague" and let the film team go.
