Trivia: The film was originally scheduled for release on August 8, 2008, then moved up to June 27, 2008. The producer couldn't find a suitable location for the battle sequence in which Stauffenberg loses his eye and hand, halting production and moving release to October 3, 2008. Filming resumed in June 2008, and release was moved to February 13, 2009. After a successful test screening, release was finally moved to December 25, 2008.
Goofs: Factual errors: Throughout the film, Tom Cruise's character is called Col. Stauffenberg. That's technically correct, but a German would call him Col. von Stauffenberg because he was a Graf (Baron). Any underling who omitted the 'von' portion of von Stauffenberg would get a severe tongue-lashing for lack of respect. A typical American audience wouldn't notice it, but a German audience would.
