Foregone Conclusion
 Gerda: A Flame in Winter (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: With it being the winter of 1945, the third Reich is quickly approaching its end. Notably, this is acknowledged in-universe: smatterings of news about the Soviet advance in the east and the Anglo-American advance in the west have reached the townspeople, and it is expected that the war won't outlast the yearnote They'd be right, too; V-E day would be celebrated by the end of that May.

Child of Two Worlds
 Gerda: A Flame in Winter (Video Game) / int_3eb9e19f
comment
Child of Two Worlds: Being half-German and half-Danish, Gerda can easily communicate both with her Danish neighbours and the German occupiers. However, this leads to several complications as neither group unconditionally accepts her as a member of their own; for instance, if you talk to your father near the clinic, a Danish local will see you and assume that you're trying to cozy up to the occupation, causing you to lose favour with the Danes in the town.

Chummy Commies: The communists, represented most directly by resistance leader Liva Hansen, are presented as staunch anti-Nazis, and, according to Gerda's narration, were among the earliest opponents to the German occupation.

Artistic License – History
 Gerda: A Flame in Winter (Video Game) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Gerda states in her opening monologue that communists, along with students, were among the earliest opponents of the Nazi occupation. Communist parties weren't overtly anti-Nazi until Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. That doesn't mean there weren't individual initiatives, since many anti-fascist communists were taken aback and baffled by the Pact, but by and large it took the biggest communist country in the world at the time to be invaded for Western Europe's communist movements to generate resistance movements, often getting orders from Moscow. Many non-communist La Résistance movements were formed as early as summer 1940 for countries like France and, obviously, late 1939 for Poland. This may be justifiable given it is presented as the perspective of Gerda, who the game makes clear was not always aware of several political aspects of the war and just wanted to keep her head down till it ended.

Les Collaborateurs
 Gerda: A Flame in Winter (Video Game) / int_768ae1c9
comment
Les Collaborateurs: Downplayed, but most of Tinglev has accepted rule under the Germans relatively quickly, not least because the town had been part of Germany in living memory, and the occupation has been fairly accepted by the community. This is most visible with Gerda's father Dieter, who went so far as to join the Nazis even before the war came to Denmark, and Margit, who is being courted by a Nazi officer and whose father's factory is supplying the Nazis.

Quitting to Get Married

Quitting to Get Married: Subverted. When Dieter, Anders, and Gerda meet the train conductor, the latter, talking about Gerda and Anders's upcoming wedding, says that her nursing education would be pointless once the two are married. When Gerda says that she plans to work in Dr. Lindholm's clinic even after their wedding, he responds with a huffy "I see. Hm, how very...er...modern."

Distant Prologue

comment
Distant Prologue: The game starts in December 1939, with Gerda's return to Tinglev after her time at nursing school, being received by Anders (at this time her fiancé) and Dieter; while the war has not yet reached Denmark, it seems to only be a matter of time, and Dieter and Anders discuss its implications, with Dieter supporting the Nazis out of a sense of national pride and Anders opposing him. While they stop their argument for Gerda's sake, it becomes a much more pressing issue once the Nazis occupy the town, with Dieter becoming a member of the party. The game proper starts in 1945, by which time the days of the German occupation are numbered, and the end of the war is in sight.

The Mole: The Gestapo officer Felix Stahl shows Gerda a ring provided by an informant of theirs, at the end of the game. It is revealed to be Torben. Who was doing this to save his fiance, Yrsa and he was going to give her that ring to propose to her. You can choose to reveal this information or not. Though if you do, Peter will not take this news well, especially if Anders died. When Torben runs, Peter shoots him dead.

Dangerous Deserter: When Gerda is going to Dr. Lindholm's clinic on the second day, she can encounter a group of German soldiers who have deserted because they have been assigned to the Eastern Front, which they consider to essentially be a death sentence. They are wheeling a large cart with possessions they have plundered from several Danish houses, and if Gerda admonishes them for looting, they subtly threaten her, saying that because they are deserters, they have nothing to lose.
