Which is why he ordered the desert. Normally the cream would've been made with butter and milk, but shortages brought on by the war meant it was made with more readily available pig fat instead. This made it non-kosher for the Jewish Shoshanna, who would need to eat it to avoid suspicion.

** This is probably the more likely scenario, and why he insisted she wait for the cream. What he likely didn't realize is that the Talmud explicitly allows for breaking kosher dietary restrictions if one is in mortal danger... or he did, and this was another way of messing with her.

* The opening scene was carried out in similar fashion across many dairy farms across the region, and for each one he left out one target and let them escape, so their already intense resentment towards the Nazi regime would boil even more. He didn't recognize Shoshanna specifically, but given her reactions in their scene together, knew she was one of his escapees and could be relied upon to lock up the theatre and spring a trap even if she had to sacrifice herself to do it, giving himself the opportunity he takes advantage of at the end of the film.

She has an aristocratic 'von,' which suggests that she belongs to the nobility like many other right-wing German Resistance members. She has an aristocratic arrogance. She also has an ''extremely'' contemptuous attitude towards the Basterds bordering on racist. Granted, her first meeting with Raine isn't exactly great; but she harps on about America ''a lot''.
