==Trivia== *In the film, his title card identifies him as "The number two man in Hitler's Third Reich". In reality, this point is debatable. Some may argue that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler Heinrich Himmler] (who's missing from the film) was Hitler's number two. Other candidates include [[Martin Bormann]] (Who is present and killed at the cinema), or Karl Dönitz (another not present). Dönitz was named Hitler's successor as ''Staatsoberhaupt'' (Head of State) after he committed suicide, with the title of ''Reichspräsident'' (President) and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and was the Grand Admiral of the Kriegsmarine in 1943 until the end of the war. **However, since the film is set in an alternate universe, it is possible that there are plausible, yet unrevealed, reasons for their absences. *Goebbels's affair with Francesca Mondino bears a similarity with his affair with the real life Czech actress [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lída_Baarová Lída Baarová]. *In a deleted scene which takes place in the Maurice restaurant, Goebbels is shown to be angry when he hears that Emmanuelle's cinema only shows classical German films and none of his, moreso when Zoller tells him that she's also a "formidable film critic". Tarantino intended this exchange to show that Goebbels is either unsure of the quality of his films or he's offended that his films aren't on par with German classical cinema. *When Francesca mentions former UFA actress [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0367613 Lilian Harvey], Goebbels throws a tantrum and screams never to mention that name in his presence. Lilian Harvey had to flee Nazi Germany in 1939 after helping Jewish choreographer [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0445254 Jens Keith] to escape to Switzerland. **A song from the soundtrack of Lucky Kids sang by the same Lilian Harvey is part of the [[Inglourious Basterds soundtrack|soundtrack of Inglourious Basterds]]. *In real life, Goebbels was married with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magda_Goebbels Magda Goebbels] and had 6 children. In the film, he wears a ring, but it's not implied in any way that he's married, nor that his affair with Francesca would be adultery. *Real life Joseph Goebbels had his right foot deformed inwards and shorter than his left one due to a congenital deformity, which caused him to limp. While in the movie he's seen mostly standing still, in the few scenes where he moves he walks normally. **He was also short in height (1.65 m), while the actor portraying him, Sylvester Groth, is much taller (1.76 m). *[[Wilfried Hochholdinger]], who plays private [[Ludwig]] in the film, previously portrayed Joseph Goebbels in two different films, [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281938/ ''Joe and Max''] (2002) and [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401984 ''Speer und er''] (2005).
