The opening scene with the soldiers is an actual "change of duty" at the "Grave of an Unnamed Soldier" in Warsaw, Poland - a symbolic tribute to all those killed in the Second World War.

In one of the last scenes when Meredith is attacked by the Danes you can clearly hear one of them say: "Bind kællingen!" Which is actually Danish and means "Tie the bitch up!"

Goofs

After the white-haired villain is shot through a window, he survives and pulls guns from his metal case. He puts a cigarette to his mouth which briefly disappears when he cocks his gun.

The credits spell the character's name as "Van Aken". Likewise the street name is "Van Aken". However, when we first see the residence, the caption reads, "Van Aiken residence". The spelling is also 'Van Aken' on the front page of the newspaper Segal puts on the counter of the hotel's reception when checking in.

There is a big sign right beside the main entrance of the train station which reads "Achtung! Stromleitung!" ("Attention! Electric line!"). It is highly unlikely that such a sign would be there because either the line is wired in a way it doesn't harm people or it wouldn't be there at all (due to the vast amount of security protocols and rules concerning electricity in Germany).
