** The group Nakam[[note]]Hebrew for "vengeance"[[/note]] shows up in one episode, with Gad mentioning their plot to poison thousands of German prisoners. Historically, that was their only accomplishment, and no deaths can be attributed to them.

* DirtyCommunists: The Soviets are overall portrayed pretty negatively, from their haphazard killing of civilians to their harassment and rape of German women to their prisons where they torture and starve German POW's. The hard-hearted Commissar Isomizov is the personification of postwar Soviet brutality. [[spoiler:He does get his PetTheDog moment towards the end, though.]]

* SociopathicSoldier: [[Moritz was diagnosed with schizophrenia and his psychiatrist declared him unfit to serve. This led to him snapping when his unit discovered the Dachau death camp; he executed many of the SS guards on the spot, and then went AWOL and began seeking out Nazis to brutally torture them to death.]]

Added DiffLines:

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Moritz murders the entire Weber family, including the children, by impaling them through the neck and stringing them up on poles. A hallmark of his disturbed mental state is that he views the children of Nazis as equally culpable of the crimes of their parents -- when discussing the secret flights helping Nazi war criminals escape, he disparagingly refers to "their little Nazi children."]]

* AllGermansAreNazis: The prevalence of this trope causes a problem for the German protagonists, as they have to constantly prove that they are trustworthy. The officer in charge of the Russian sector is even trying to make this an EnforcedTrope [[spoiler:by killing the popular and honest head of Berlin's new police force because he can’t have a "good German" running around.]]
