While this meme is a historical one, it does contrast the basement bar scene in Inglorious Basterds. When the basterds head into the bar to meet with von Hammersmark, they were expecting no Germans to be there seeing as it was a small bar in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately for them there were several German soldiers including a major who happen to be having a night off. In a normal situation no one would think twice about other soldiers being present at the bar, the low-ranking soldiers do a good job being portrayed as a normal group of people. In this scene sergeant Wilhelm slightly questions Hicox’s accent but other than that no one else thinks twice of it, except for the major. The major, like colonel Landa, is constantly assessing and observing everything, and that is how he catches the basterds in the act of having a meeting about Operation Kino. The German major really had no reason to be suspicious of the basterds meeting there other than him not knowing them, and instead of minding his business, like colonel Landa, he investigates and finds them in a web of lies. Tarantino keeps this character trait of the German officers being paranoid and always looking for something throughout the movie. This meme also helps show the absurdity of the semi modern European wars, where England and France continued to fight on and off for hundreds of years for the most part no reason other than ego of their crowns, and that of Germany taking over most of western Europe for no reason other than his personal ego and gains.
