SS-Cadet Hermann Jost's father, who is briefly mentioned in the film as "one of the founding members of the S.S." is intended to be the real life Heinz Jost: SS-Major General, and Commander of a Russian based Special Action Execution Squad (Einsatzgruppen), during the Second World War. See more »

Early into the movie a signed photo of Adolf Hitler with an admirer is shown. The signature on the photo doesn't even remotely resemble Hitler's actual signature. See more »
The novel had rising suspense up to the last page, with glimpses of real love amid multiple layers of black treachery, and an unspeakable dark secret at its heart. It was based on solid history, extrapolated into a fascinating alternative that was gradually revealed. Only bit by bit did one realise that Germany had conquered all Europe and that the Kennedy who had been elected US president was the unadmirable Joseph.
None of that will you find in this feeble film, which even Dan Brown might be ashamed of. Showing the ghastly structures with which Hitler if victorious proposed to uglify Berlin, the Hall of the People and the Victory Arch, was at least instructive.
Use your brain enjoyably for a couple of hours by reading the book instead.
