Things are very confusing given that the events of the main shootout all happen in under 35 seconds: 1. Stiglitz starts things off by telling Hellstrom to say "auf Wiedersehen" to his Nazi balls, then shoots him in his groin.
Hellstrom then shoots Hicox in turn and hits Bridget in the leg, who falls backward in her chair, while Hicox falls backward and returns fire at Hellstrom.
Stiglitz then stands up and repeatedly stabs Hellstrom in the back of the head, pinning his head to the table. Wicki stands up and shoots Winnetou in the back at least twice. Beethoven shoots Stiglitz in the back. Mata Hari shoots Wicki in the stomach. Stiglitz turns and shoots Beethoven four times in the torso and then also shoots Edgar Wallace in the heart, killing them both. Wicki shoots Mata Hari in the heart. Eric shoots Stiglitz with a double-barreled shotgun, killing him. Note: this is the only shot that isn't definitive as there is an extreme close-up of Eric while he takes aim, but when there is a wide shot of him, he appears to be aiming in Stiglitz' direction.
It was theorized he was shooting at the Germans, but Wicki wouldn't have shot him if that was so. Wicki shoots Eric in the head. Wilhelm blindly guns down Wicki and Mathilda with his MP40 submachine gun. The way the final shot is filmed, it's possible Wilhelm also shot Mata Hari in the back, or it could have just been editing of Wicki finishing him off.
After Wilhelm agrees to surrender to the Basterds, Bridget retrieves Hicox's pistol and fires four shots at Wilhelm, hitting him at least twice in the chest, killing him. Being a member of the Gestapo, Hellstrom was suspicious of Hicox after overhearing his "bizarre accent".
Since people in Germany indeed speak in various "high German" southern Bavaria accents and "low German" northern German accents as well as have strong accents and dialects in neighboring German-speaking countries such as Austria and Switzerland, Hicox may have convinced Hellstrom he was truly a German.
So, Hellstrom joins them for a conversation and for a card game. Hellstrom likely picked up something on Hicox again for not really wanting to play the game, then asking Hellstrom to leave the table after one round. When Hellstrom acts offended, Hicox clams up. Hellstrom then starts laughing and says he was joking and says that he would like to buy them all one round of drinks and then he would leave them alone.
He holds his index, middle and ring finger up. Both Hellstrom and Von Hammersmark notice this immediately. Notice how Hellstrom's facial expression and cheerful demeanor quickly goes stiff and silent, and Von Hammersmark looks mortified. Hicox inadvertently gave himself away by ordering "three glasses" with those particular fingers.
A German would order "three" with the index, middle finger and the thumb extended. The other way looks odd, and a German would indeed notice it as Von Hammersmark later comments. Hicox had also warned Aldo earlier, If we get into trouble, we can handle it. But if trouble does happen, we need you to make damn sure that no Germans or French for that matter escape from that basement. If Frau Von Hammersmark's cover is compromised; the mission is kaput.
While not explicitly stated, it's likely Hicox meant kill anyone trying to escape so as not to risk them reporting Von Hammersmark as an Allied spy. He could have just meant capture them which is likely what Aldo was going to do with Wilhelm. However holding an enemy prisoner when in an area heavily populated by the enemy is extremely risky.
So it's likely Bridget knew she had the drop on Wilhelm and decided to take him out so she didn't have to worry about Aldo taking him alive, especially after Wilhelm insulted her and called her a "traitor". Bridget was probably also a tad upset that he just aided in killing her allies and even an innocent waitress.
When they quickly became aware that the theater was on fire, they may have also realized that all the exits were blocked so they decided to go out in a blaze of glory, taking as many Nazis with them before they all died. A second explanation is that they may have gotten so caught up in the moment and were so focused on the killing that they probably forgot about the time left on the bombs strapped to their legs as all three bombs exploded simultaneously.
At first it would seem he did this because she betrayed her country, yet Landa was already planning to do the same thing, so it's likely he didn't want to share the credit and reward with someone. Had he let her live, she would receive credit for getting the Basterds into the premier and Landa would only have gotten credit for not stopping them. But if the person who got them into the premier was dead, then how they got in was a moot point and Landa would receive all the credit for helping the Basterds carry out their mission.
Alternatively; perhaps it would be one last cold-blooded murder he could get away with before "surrendering" to the Allies. The Basterds, although cruel and brutal, still had their honesty. Not only that, but they were given orders by a higher authority. Raine was heard saying that what Landa was going to do would make up for the atrocities he has committed.
Landa did follow through on his side of the deal. On the other hand, you could also say that Raine wanted to brand Landa a Nazi, a memento he would have to shamefully carry on his forehead for the rest of his life, a stark contrast to the war hero who caused Hitler's reign to end. By the end of the film, Landa could see that in the situation where Hitler was inevitably going to die, and hence the Nazis were not going to win the war, he made the decision to betray Hitler.
He goes to Raine to seek out a way to make him look like a hero. Landa traded Raine's life to hopefully be a permanent part of the history books, as the man who killed Hitler and ended the war singlehandedly. Had Germany continued winning the war and the history books been written by the Third Reich, Landa would be famous as "the Jew Hunter" and held in high regard for the future generations of people brought up with the ideals of the Nazis.
Simply put, Landa didn't care which side he was on, as long as it was the winning side. The first soldier to be branded wasn't shown, simply the scar that was left. Although Aldo usually went just deep enough to leave a visible scar, he felt that Landa deserved a little more than the usual, considering the atrocities he committed. He also wanted to make sure anyone who met Landa would see the "brand" and recognize him for what he was.
Consequently, Aldo dug his knife so deeply into Landa's forehead that it was basically carved into the skull, which is why Landa was in such agony. Aldo also seemed to do it a bit slower in order to maximize Landa's agony. This is probably why Aldo believes it to be his "masterpiece". Alternatively, it's also possible that Landa is just a sniveling coward. He is more than happy to dish out torment and death on others and is "brave" enough to kill a defenseless woman with his bare hands, but when it comes to actually receiving a taste of pain himself, it's more than he could take.
No, this film is entirely fictional and essentially fantasy. In reality, the generally accepted cause of Hitler's death on 30 April is suicide by gunshot and cyanide poisoning. Although the UK employed Jewish commandos in a group called X-Troop, those fighters committed none of the acts shown in this film. Christoph Waltz has stated that the film is "a piece of art.

Does Quentin Tarantino make a cameo? Tarantino spent ten years working on the script for Inglourious Basterds , but while he carefully recreates the feeling of wartime movies, it's far from a true story. Hans Landa is a fictional creation of Tarantino, an Inglourious Basterds character used to embody various Nazi concepts. During the opening act, Landa explains the motivations for his actions. The complexity of the character works in favor of the film overall, as Landa ultimately betrays the Nazi party in order to survive.
Organized by Winston Churchill, the group of German and Eastern European Jews reportedly focused on collecting information about the Nazis, with their motivations being that they had already experienced the horrors of Nazi antisemitism back home and wanted to protect their families or - in some cases - seek revenge.
This real-life Basterds squad consisted of 88 men, 21 of whom were killed in action, with another 22 suffering wounds. Hitler's death is well documented. Rather than facing the consequences, Hitler reportedly killed himself with wife Eva Braun, just one day after their marriage ceremony. The Americans win. Landa turns on the Nazis. Unlike most war movies, though, Basterds heads toward an ending in which cinema can save the world.
Shosanna has escaped to Paris, where she runs a movie theatre. One especially elegant scene is set in its empty lobby. A voiceover by Samuel L Jackson even explains how flammable that old film was, with a mock public-service announcement visualising it. Movies are also life savers in Once Upon a Time You never know when movie knowledge will come in handy.
In Basterds, Michael Fassbender plays Lt Archie Hickox, a professorial British film critic turned soldier, a character Tarantino admires for his daring, and gently mocks for his effete works on cinema. He joins the plan to blow up the theatre, code-named Operation Kino or Film , and lands at the centre of another taut set piece, one of the highlights of Inglourious Basterds.
Disguised as a Nazi officer, Hickox goes to meet a German actress with the fabulous name Bridget von Hammersmark Diane Kruger , working as an undercover agent for the Allies. By the time the Basterds arrive at the theatre to carry out Operation Kino, the film has moved far from reality. When Landa reaches into his pocket, pulls out the shoe Bridget lost at the shootout and places it on her foot, Tarantino even reverses a fairy tale.
This Cinderella moment confirms her duplicity and seals her death. The big action scene at the theatre is as dramatic and as brutally satisfying as any Tarantino has made. We believe in that first, terrifying farmhouse sequence, but even in an age of so-called false facts no one can think Operation Kino happened. Inglourious Basterds does not ask us to deny reality.
It uses cinema to expand our imaginations and to see, however briefly, what heroism can do.
