When the camera is back on Ackermann he has completed the task in a fraction of the time he would have actually needed. (01:08:55)
Continuity mistake: When Pfeiffer and Knebel look through a fence at the effects of their putting up a signboard "School closed for repairs" the bars are different depending on the camera angle. (00:45:00)
