From the beginning of Hitler's political career, he always had one or two companions with him at all times who could act as bodyguards. When Hitler came closer to gaining power, his security was increased. He had at least 8 personal security guards selected from the SS who were always stationed nearby. Hitler overcame his fear of being poisoned by employing a group of 15 young women to taste his food, under armed guard, before it was served to him.

Hitler supposedly loved movies and watched one every night after dinner. The Nazis took control of the film industry in Germany and imposed strict censorship on any foreign films that were not in line with Nazi ideals. The Nazis, namely Goebbels, who headed the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, used films and newsreels frequently to manipulate the public. It is also believed that Hitler demanded the executions of those who tried to assassinate him in 1944 to be filmed.

The filming location of Wegner's driving route is Grosser Stern Square located in Berlin, Germany. The monument erected inside the square is the Victory Column. Construction on the column was completed in 1873 to commemorate Germany's victory over France in the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War. In 1939, it was moved by the Nazi government from its original placement in front of the Reichstag Building. This was done as a part of the Third Reich's plan to redevelop Berlin into the capital city of "Germania." The dome building in the distance (The Volkshalle) was added during the post production process using CGI. In the world of "The Man in the High Castle," Hitler's visions of Germania would have been realized and that meant The Volkshalle, a 950 foot tall by 820 foot wide domed monument, would have been completed.

Hitler's wardrobe for "The Man in the High Castle" came to life through the imagining of evolution. Much thought was put into what Hitler would have been wearing in his private quarters in 1962. Hitler would often be seen in more modest attire with less decoration than the advisers that surrounded him. The Costume Department imagined that, out of the public eye, he would dress even more simply - donning a double-breasted suit with only the iron eagle tie pin decorating him.

The "Führerhauptquartier in the Austrian Alps" is actually Hohenwerfen Castle near Salzburg, Austria. It was used as a location for a Nazi stronghold before in the 1968 movie Where Eagles Dare starring Clint Eastwood.

While there is no evidence that Hitler hid weapons around his office, he was highly concerned about his safety. Evidence suggests that he employed doppelgangers as stand-ins for his protection.

Rudolph Wegener's son, Otto, is reading "Ranger Reich" magazine. This may be a reference to real-life magazine "Ranger Rick." While the magazine was not published until 1967, Adolf Hitler played a role in the establishment of the first environmental protection laws in history, possibly accelerating the timing.

"The Man in the High Castle," production design team wanted to decorate the interior of the bunker with as much authenticity as possible. They filled the space with replicas of the furniture Hitler owned, china that included Hitler's initials, and statues created by a real life Nazi artist.

The filming location that doubles as the Catskills is the Lower Seymour Fraser Demonstration Forest located in North Vancouver, BC.

The Swastika was not always a symbol of fascism. The word Swastika comes from the Sanskrit word Svastika meaning 'well-being,' and is a sacred symbol in many religions. Evidence of it dates back 7,000 years to the Neolithic Vinca culture of south-east Europe. In the 19th Century, scholars translating old texts from India noted similarities between Sanskrit and the early German language. The Nazis took this finding to promote an idea of Germans having a shared history with Indians, as a white supreme race of Aryan warriors, and used the sacred symbol of the Svastika in its propaganda.

The boat used in this sequence was built in 1942 and primarily used as a fish packer.

Uranium mining is the extraction of this naturally occurring heavy metal from rock. It is used primarily for electricity but is also essential in the creation of nuclear weapons. The mining process can be very dangerous and toxic for the miners. In the world of "The Man in the High Castle," those without options can gain employment by mining in the Neutral Zone.

In the world of "The Man in the High Castle," the portrait of Hitler that hangs in the Nazi Embassy is his "official portrait." This would hang in all government buildings controlled by the Greater Nazi Reich.

In the world of "The Man in the High Castle," this coffee table book showcases the buildings and architecture of a post-war Berlin. Yet another example of Hitler's use of propaganda to manipulate the peoples' sense of national pride.

The filming location where Smith and Heydrich are walking along the river is the Seymour River located inside Demonstration Forest in North Vancouver, BC.

That's Ronald Reagan on the side of the building cigarette billboard in the upper left corner of the screen in the final shot of this episode.

In the world of "The Man in the High Castle," the Nazi Embassy in San Francisco could grant you a visa to travel. It would enable you to travel to the Greater Nazi Reich for a limited period, with legitimate reasons.

The sniper rifle Inspector Kidu finds with Carl Muller is in fact a Soviet-made SVD 7.62mmR, commonly referred to as a "Dragunov" after its designer. This weapon would actually be both anachronistic and factually incorrect at this time. In the real world not only was the weapon Russian-designed and unlikely to be used by the Nazis, but it only went into production in 1963, the year after this episode is set.

In the world of "The Man in the High Castle," the rock and roll music genre would not have evolved under the strict sanctions of Nazis and Japan. The world of music would be incredibly different, hence why the sounds and sights are so alien to Tagomi.

This headline refers to JFK's televised public address after the Soviet Union placed nuclear weapons in Cuba, where he informed the world that the US would establish a blockade around the island.

In the 10th episode, Joe said to Juliana that he saw a movie about a Sovietic Propaganda in 1954 when in their world Stalin died in 1949. In our real world Stalin died in March 5 of 1953, ONE year BEFORE the date in their movie (1954). So should this mean that there's a third world/reality where maybe the Soviets won the Cold War? Or mother Russia won the WWII alone?
