Corrected entry: Hugo Stiglitz has his name and picture displayed through German newspapers as one who kills Nazis. He has killed many Gestapo officers, and is well-known among the ranks. However, in the bar scene, the Gestapo officer who says that he knows any German officers worth knowing does not recognize him at all, despite the fact that Stiglitz was sitting right next to him.

Corrected entry: In the bar scene, the Gestapo officer says that he will buy the men a '33 whiskey. However, later, the Gestapo officer says that Lt. Hicox is no more German than that "scotch." Hicox perpetuates this later by saying that there is a "special rung in hell for people who waste good scotch."
Correction: Scotch is a Whisky which is made in Scotland. "Scotch" is just a shorter way to say "Scotch Whisky". There is no error here with this part of the scene.

Correction: Stiglitz was not an officer, the "newsreel" and paperclips show that he is "Oberfeldwebel", an NCO rank. You could argue that Stiglitz still should be well known, but isn't that just the joke the film is making? The completely unlikely situation that an extremely well known person sits there in a false uniform.This is not a mistake in the film.
