History Film / BloodAndGold

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Paule returning to his farm to care for his cow Rita not only gets himself killed and captured but Elsa ended up captured because she and Heinrich tried to save him]].

* ForbiddenLove: [[spoiler:Upon finding out the priest had the gold with him since the deaths of the senior Lowensteins, Sonja, Wilhelm Reinkober, and Wirtz capture him and claim they know he has an affair with Irmgard, adding that's why he hid the gold. While the priest hasn't (and never gets to do so as he's shot by Dörfler later, Irmgard's reaction upon finding his corpse could add to Sonja's accusation]].

* EvilCripple: Wilhelm Reinboker, [[spoiler:one of the individuals seeking the gold]]. [[spoiler:He aided in eliminating the senior L&ouwensteins during Kristallnacht]].

* NoHonorAmongThieves: [[spoiler:Three of Sonenberg's residents, along with the mayor Robert Schlick, planned to steal the gold from the Nazi's noses ever since they eliminated the senior L&ouwensteins in Kristallnacht. The former three kill Schlick and nearly turned on each other had it not been for the priest unwittingly admitting he took the gold and hid it]].

* PragmaticVillainy: Despite everything else... ''wrong'' about him, von Starnfeld does things calmly and professionally (for an SS officer, that is). It's implied he arrested and interrogated [[spoiler:Johannes L&ouwenstein and his wife over their gold only for Dörfler to kill them for not restraining himself when he tortured them over it, chiding him about it. After arresting Elsa, he simply prevented her from getting anything sharp to use against him. Sadly for him, Elsa knew about his cyanide pill and made him bite it while pretending to kiss him]].

* DestinationDefenestration: The fate of [[spoiler: one of the SS soldiers who tries to hang Paule.]]

* LoveAtFirstSight: A disgusting example with [[spoiler:von Starnfeld staying where he was when Elsa tried to kill him to avenge her brother and not killing her when she wasted her P38's ammo. While keeping her as his prisoner, von Starnfeld removed his cover for his disfigured face, removing a wedding ring he intended on giving to his lover Rebecca before killing her (see MercyKill above for details, and ''propsing to Elsa with it while calling her "Rebecca"'']].

* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:Heinrich and Elsa may have become each other's [[SecondLove Second Loves]], since Heinrich lost his wife in an Allied bombing run and Elsa lost her fiance Hans as he was a soldier. Adding to this, Elsa was the one who encourage Heinrich to not give up in reuniting with his daughter when he admitted to wanting to give up on it, him not caring about the gold save for it as a bargaining chip to free Elsa from the SS's clutches, and that Elsa accompanied Heinrich to find his daughter]].
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:von Starnfeld treats his murder of his lover Rebecca as this as he didn't want his fellow Nazis to arrest her as she was a Jew]].

* ActionGirl: Elsa proves to be this when Dörfler tried to rape her and showed she can use a gun against a subordinate of his after Heinrich joined in fighting him and his men.

* NightmareFace: The SS officer is missing most of the left side of his face, including a gaping hole in his cheek through which his back teeth are visible.
