Map of the region
The Territoire de Belfort is a department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France.
The Basterds ambushed a German military unit in some woods from this region.
In Inglourious Basterds[]
The Basterds, having just recently ambushed a German unit, are looting the corpses of the dead soldiers. Aldo interrogates Werner Rachtman and Butz for information regarding another German military patrol in the area.
Trivia[]
- Although the region where the Basterds are located is not mentioned in the film, the map Aldo carries has "Belfort" written on it. Territoire de Belfort is a region in eastern France, near the border with Germany and Switzerland, while Belfort is its largest city and administrative center. The Basterds presence there makes sense, as theys just recently broke Stiglitz out of jail, which was in Germany, so they couldn't have been far away from the border.
- While the map says "Belfort", the image on the map shows forested regions with roads, and since Belfort is a city, the map must actually be to its French department, Territoire de Belfort.
- In the original script, no name is given to the area where The Basterds ambushed Rachtman's company, instead the only name given is "French woods".
