Hidden Depths | |
| Munich - The Edge of War / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: The film's portrayal of Chamberlain is fairly sympathetic, suggesting that rather than being wilfully blind to Hitler's conquest ambitions, Chamberlain is playing for time so Britain can prepare itself for the inevitable war.note A view supported by Hitler himself, who frequently ranted during his final days in his bunker that he would have won the war if he'd attacked in 1938, before the British were fully armed and ready. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Munich - The Edge of War / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Several characters talk about how they want to prevent a war. Anybody with the most basic notions of history knows how it ended. Also applies to the scene in which Paul takes a gun into a meeting with Hitler, with the intention of shooting him. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Munich - The Edge of War / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Hugh and Paul fail to convince Chamberlain to oust Hitler from power by declaring war on Germany, though the extra year Chamberlain buys with the false truce is instrumental to the Allies' eventual victory. Proof of Paul's involvement is concealed, saving him from immediate execution, but he's on the Gestapo's radar and it's likely only a matter of time until he's killed. Hugh is disillusioned by politics and will almost certainly never see Paul again, but he plans to join the RAF and fight in the upcoming war. Lena, as a quadriplegic Jewish woman, is guaranteed to be an early victim of the Holocaust. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Munich - The Edge of War / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Paul and Legat meet in Munich at a jazz club, where among the patrons are several Gestapo officers in uniform. While not technically illegal, jazz music was severely panned by the Nazis as "degenerate music," and it would be very unlikely for a Gestapo officer to be seen in a jazz club, let alone in uniform. | |

Faux Affably Evil: Adolf Hitler himself, who is personable with his supporters and even engages Paul in a running joke about stealing his watch but is still, you know, Hitler. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Paul's support of Nazism collapsed in 1935, after Lena was tortured into full-body paralysis by police for attending anti-Nazi protests and being Jewish. | |

| Munich - The Edge of War / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: Doctors aren't sure if Lena is aware of her surroundings because she can't move to speak or react, but the fact that she makes a sound once her old friend Hugh appears in her field of vision implies she can and is trapped inside her own mind. In Nazi Germany. | |

No Historical Figures Were Harmed | |
| Munich - The Edge of War / int_b0855ef3 | comment |
No Historical Figures Were Harmed: Paul von Hartmann and Hugh Legat are fictional characters loosely based on Adam von Trott zu Solz, an anti-Nazi diplomat executed for his part in the July 20 conspiracy to assassinate Hitler, and A.L. Rowse, a British academic and von Trott's close friend from his Oxford days. | |
