Menacing Hand Shot: The film's opening, with Adolf Hitler's hand (the only body part of his that's seen) making menacing gestures over a map of Norway.

Artistic License – Military: The Norwegian squad that spots the German parachutists gets mowed down by them with a machine gun. The thing is, the parachutists look like normal Heer infantry with Stahlhelm helmets, not like Fallschirmjäger with "bowl" helmets (without the projecting visor and flared rim) like they should. Speaking of the helmets, the shape of those seen in the film on all German soldiers screams M1916 type from the second half of World War I, not the M1935 (all previous Stahlhelm types were phased out for long in the German army by 1940), which would have likely been hard to get in large quantities at this point of the war. The parachutists also use a heavy Maxim machine gun. By that time, the German army used the much more practical, lighter and deadlier MG 34.

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The film opens with Adolf Hitler contemplating a map of Norway, making hand gestures on it (only his hand is seen, actually) and boasting about invading the country in pseudo-German gibberish.

Trrrilling Rrrs: Adolf Hitler goes full Large Ham in the opening, rolling his "Rrrs" like there's no tomorrow.
