** "Steiner's attack will fix everything" has become a running joke amongst history enthusiasts, often brought up in comment sections of videos discussing Germany's military losses and the impeding Soviet invasion. "Steiner's Attack" has by now become shorthand for "imaginary master stroke that's just not going to happen".

** In that same vein, Thomas Kretschmann would later play Major Otto Ernst Remer in ''Film/{{Valkyrie}}'' and one of his most prominent scenes is hearing the voice of Hitler from Goebbels' phone after presuming that the Führer is dead. Since Hitler and Fegelein barely interact with each other[[note]]The only time Fegelein directly speaks to Hitler is when Hitler was observing a model of Berlin with Speer, and it's a mere insistence for Hitler to leave Berlin for his safety. Hitler doesn't get his murderous hatred of Fegelein until after Himmler betrays him.[[/note]] in the film despite the ''WebVideo/HitlerRants'' videos giving them an SitcomArchNemesis relationship, this may be one of the rare instances that Hitler finally finds Fegelein.

** Hitler's exclamation, 'Ahh, Monhke!' becomes slightly funnier to those who are familiar with a 2020 meme based on a line from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''.

Added DiffLines:

* TheInverseLawOfFandomLevity: ''Downfall'' is an incredibly grim movie about the final days of the Führerbunker which casts the Nazis as {{Tragic Villain}}s who nevertheless deserve their fate, but fans of the film are notorious for using clips from the film to create ''WebVideo/HitlerRants'' parodies which are generally lighthearted SitCom hijinks, heavily contrasting the film's depressing, dour visuals.
