!! The Netflix miniseries contains examples of:

* ArtisticLicense: Werner refused to obey orders, hid information about Marie's clandestine broadcasts and [[spoiler: killed one of his comrades, albeit in self-defense]], and yet he was allowed to live on just because he was the only radio operator the Germans had in the town. In reality, he would have been executed almost immediately, regardless of his skills.
