* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Getúlio Vargas is depicted as an open Nazi sympathizer that gladly deports Olga to Germany explicitly to spite his political rival, while she is ''pregnant no less'' with a German officer commenting how she would make a "fine gift to Hitler". While its true that Vargas persecuted communists during his regime in the 1930s and was very much a dictator then, he also persecuted fascist movements such as the Integralists (a fascist party in Brazil that were big fans of Mussolini), ultimately sided with the Allies during World War II despite trade deals with Germany, and implemented revolutionary labor laws and pro-worker reforms that made him famous as Brazil's "Father of the Poor". After World War II, Vargas unexpectedly became a populist social democrat defending democracy, and welcomed socialists into his coalition, including his old enemy, Prestes.
