Continuity mistake: When Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is handing Adolph Hitler the amended Valkyrie folder to approve, Hitler reaches for it with his right hand as the movie switches to a wider shot, the passing of the folder is going into Hitler's left hand. (00:40:45)

Continuity mistake: When Von Stauffenberg is coming home for the first time, Nina and Claus are kissing each other down the hallway. Nina's head moves the other way when the camera changes perspective. (00:21:10)

Mistakes

Factual error: Approximately three quarters of the way in to the film, there is a close up of a German soldier handing an officer a file of documents. The helmet that the soldier is wearing is a post war 1960s version. This can be determined by the lack of an air vent and rivet on the side of the helmet.
