* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The writers got at least one characterization of Hitler completely wrong; Hitler had a creepy romantic obsession with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geli_Raubal his own niece]], and kept her as a virtual prisoner until she committed suicide to escape him. The real Hitler probably would never have ordered his great great grand-niece killed and fed to dogs, and would more likely have viewed her as a new object to romantically and sexually fixate on.

** Twitter gets one via DamnedByAFoolsPraise. The resurrected Hitler, upon being able to see 21st century technological advancements such as smart phones and social networks, gives praise to Twitter in particular as something that he can use as his "personal Goebbels". This knock on Twitter is likely in reference to it being used by [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain white supremacists and other Alt-Right groups]] to spread their propaganda (Particularly during the run-up of the 2016 United States Presidential election).
