The movie depicts the executions going off flawlessly. In reality they were anything but. The trap door was small, causing head injuries to Wilhelm Keitel and several other condemned men as they dropped. Many of the executed Nazis fell from the gallows with insufficient force to snap their necks, resulting in convulsions that in Keitel's case lasted 24 minutes.
