| Trivia | The final title card claims that after the movie was finished the last members of the Rothschild family left Europe. However many members stayed, even in Germany. Theodor Rothschild was managing a orphan's home and a Jewish School in Stuttgart, where he helped other Jews immigrating from Germany, before he was was transported to the concentration camp. Jacob Rothschild, who was born in 1936 and was 4 years old while the movie was done worked for his father Victor's branch "Rothschild and Sons" in London until 1980. And these are just a few examples for this event, hidden in this propaganda movie. See more » |
| Goofs | At the end of the movie, where Nathan Rothschild is explaining the branches of the Rothschild business in the style of the David Star, a branch in Gibraltar is mentioned. However at that time there was no Rothschild branch in Gibraltar. One place that is not mentioned on the map is the branch in Paris, which was managed James de Rothschild. See more » |
