* CriticalResearchFailure: In-universe. While spying in France shortly before the war, Althoff blows his cover by giving a German-style military salute (that is, with a very slight bow) rather than squaring his shoulders back, as the French do.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The real Wilhelm Canaris was a rather more complex character than presented in the film. While it is true that he worked to actively sabotage the Nazi war machine and rescued hundreds of Jews and other persecuted individuals from death, risking and ultimately [[HeroicSacrifice losing his life]] in the process, it's also true that he held anti-Semitic views and was at first a supporter of Hitler. At least one biographer has gone so far as to credit him with first suggesting the introduction of the infamous yellow stars.

* CassandraTruth: Canaris repeatedly provides intelligence showing that pressing on against the Allies - and in particular, the Russians - is a waste of time. But the idea that Germany can be beaten by "the lesser races" falls on deaf ears in the corridors of power.
