Trivia
- Redl shares the same birth date with Adolf Hitler, 59 years apart, which, coincidentally, is the feast day for the cannabis-smoking subculture (4/20).
- However, in this parody, Adolf Hitler does not seem to be happy about it.
- Such that Jodl's objections to Hitler's plans annoy him, Hitler decides to have him killed.
