** We much focus is given to the historical relations between the rulers of England, Germany and Russia, and we see the Shepherd has agents manipulating Germany and Russia. It might then seem odd he has seemingly no one in England, considering that it his his primary target. [[spoiler:Because it turns out his agent in England is the Shepherd himself, Morton.]]

The “retractible” blade was simply mounted to a gauntlet - it was not ahistorical.

* BrokenAesop: The film is inconsistent with regards to its message. On one hand, war is an atrocity and young men are forced to kill each other for the rich and powerful, and pacifism is a principled stand against this pointless slaughter. On the other hand, ''winning'' a war is glorious and the young men did not die in vain, and pacifism is merely a condition one must overcome in order to get back to saving the world by killing the Bad Guys. The film presents both aesops completely straight.

* WhatMeasureIsAMook: Conrad faces off with some German soldiers on No Man's Land, some of whom are presented as spooky GasMaskMooks that help paint them as deadly, unfeeling opponents. However, when he manages to pin one down for the kill, he unmasks him, and sees underneath that he's just a frightened young man, who begs for his life. Conrad kills him anyways, but is clearly torn up about having to.

** Similarly by the later half of the war, Wilhelm II had deferred all powers to the German High Command, lead by Luddendorf and Hindenburg, after his personal handling of the war proved disastrous. The two basically ruled Germany in a de facto leadership. The Zimmerman Telegram was an idea that originated from High Command, not from the Kaiser.

**Despite the wider backstory behind it being fictionalised and the archduke's death shown as more instantaneous than it really was (he lived a few minutes after being hit, pleading for his wife Sophie to live, and other people in the car were initially unaware he'd even been shot), the overall assassination scene shows an impressive attention to detail; Gavrilo Princip is shown sitting outside Schiller's Deli, as he really was in real life (you can even see the sign for it behind him!), and the car stops in front of him after initially taking a wrong turn (although in the film, Orlando takes the place of the military governor who actually pointed this out). They even take care to get the sequence of shots right; just like in real life, Princip first shoots Sophie in the abdomen, then Franz in the neck.

** Similarly Conrad seems puzzled why the Austrians would care about Serbia following the Archduke's assassination, acting like Serbia and Austria-Hungary have not need at each other's throat for decades as Serbs try to assert their independence from Austria whose empire is breaking apart and who is desperate to reclaim lost lands.
** The Austrians are treated as just the impetus for the War. Once the war starts they all but drop entirely from the plot and aren't treated as one of the major power in the war, much like how France is ignored.
