Trivia[]
- In the script, Hitler's palace is identified as Burstich Garden, set in Bavaria.[1]. This is a pun on Berchtesgaden, the location of Hitler's private retreat known as Berghof.
Behind the scenes[]
Hitler's office was shot in the Clay Headquarters Compound of the United States Army in Berlin, at the corner of Clayallee and Saargemuender Strasse in the Dahlem district.
Built for the German Air Force in the late 30's, the complex was taken over after the war to be used as headquarters of the US Military Government for Germany. When the US army finally vacated the compound, it stood empty, occasionally finding use as a film location (Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie, with Tom Cruise, filmed here). It was recently sold and its future is uncertain.[2]
