** And there was one pilot who managed to bail out... only to discover that he's got a faulty parachute which fails to open. For a few following moments, we can see him plummeting down helplessly like a ragdoll.

* Early in the film, the British and French are forced to abandon an airfield in the face of advancing German troops. The pilots are left to scramble with whatever fuel happens to be in their serviceable planes (leaving several more broken down planes to be burned by their ground crews), but an easy to miss line reminds the viewer that not everyone at the airfield can escape so easily, and the implication is made that many of the ground personnel will be captured or killed by the Germans.

* When AdolfHitler is shown giving a speech announcing that they will retaliate for the RAF bombing Berlin (conveniently forgetting to mention that the Luftwaffe accidentally bombed London first), there is an extended shot of the massed crowds of fervent followers cheering for him. It's chilling to behold considering that it really happened, and it was for ''Hitler''.

* More than once in the film, pilots and aircrews are shown desperately trying to escape from their crippled or burning aircraft as they descend inevitably to the ground or sea. Sometimes [[AbandonShip they make it out]], sometimes they don't, and at least once we see someone [[HopeSpot almost make it only for the plane to crash before they can get out]]. And more than once we see the plane abruptly explode before the pilot even has a chance.

* Berlin and London both get subjected to air raids, and we get to see the civilian reaction to these in a rare break from the film's military POV characters. From the initial reaction of the Berliners panicking when they realize they're under attack, to the shell shocked Londoners trying to maintain their StiffUpperLip while variously seeking shelter or helping to dig others out, it is shown to be an [[WarIsHell incredibly harsh experience.]]
