Corrected entry: During the outdoor interrogation scene where Wicki is translating, you can see a bright yellow maple leaf on the left side of his chest. This may be a reference/homage to the bright yellow stars that Jewish had to wear on the left breast of their clothes during the Nazi regime in some countries in Europe where they had control.

Correction: It may also just be a random leaf in the shot. Without a source verifying this, it's not really trivia.

Corrected entry: During all the time that the German major is intruding on Von Hammersmark and her conversation with the German-born Basterds, the major doesn't appear to recognize Stieglitz. He murdered 13 German officers: one would think that his face would be plastered all over on "Wanted" posters or advisory communiques to the German military. It doesn't seem likely that the German army would forget about his treason so quickly. Landa knew about Stieglitz and what he had done, so why didn't the German major? You'd think he'd be high enough in rank/security clearance to know this information.

Correction: Certainly he'd know about it. Doesn't mean he'd recognize the guy by sight, based solely on a sketch of him that the major may or may not have seen ever, let alone recently.
