* LesCollaborateurs: The Dutch NSB are a major source of danger for the main characters in the series, as they were in real life.
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: When the Annex is discovered and the inhabitants are taken away, the older male employees insist Miep will play to this trope to save herself. Instead, she makes use of the leader being from Vienna to gain a human connection with him. He does indeed let her go, amidst some threats.
* ForegoneConclusion: Despite the efforts Miep and Jan and their friends go to protect the residents of the annex, they will end up being caught, and only one, Otto Frank, will survive the Holocaust.

* ComicallySmallBribe: One of the Dutch Nazis searching Opekta mocks Miep for trying to bribe him with a cookie. He eats the cookie too.
** Miep is not arrested with everyone else when she notices that the Nazi commanding officer searching Opekta has a Viennese accent when speaking German, and points out that they're both from Vienna. She was trying to use it as a way of somehow getting him to let the residents of the Secret Annex go, but instead he only leaves her behind.
* HeroicBSOD: Miep sits at her desk in a semi-comatose state for the rest of the day after the Nazis leave Opekta after arresting everyone else.
** Her husband Jan is, over the course of trying to help Miep out by getting her extra ration books, approached by the Resistance and asked to join. He also quickly accepts

** In the next episode, Miep slaps Tonny Ahlers (a SmugSnake Dutch Nazi who had been blackmailing Otto Frank before he went into hiding) in the face and screams at him to ask if he was the one to tip off the Nazis. Ahlers can only respond with confused terror.
Added DiffLines:
* SmugSnake: Tonny Ahlers is an odious Dutch Nazi who before Otto had gone into hiding, had been blackmailing him for an anti-Nazi statement he had made in public, who keeps showing up at Opekta to try to force Miep to tell him where Otto is so he can keep blackmailing him. Notably, after Otto and the rest get arrested, Miep happens upon Ahlers and slaps him across the face, screaming at him to ask if he was the one to tip off the Nazis, and Ahlers can only respond with confused terror that he doesn't know what she's talking about.
Added DiffLines:
* WhatTheHellHero: Willem Arondeus' first task for Jan to prove himself in the Resistance is to use his status as a social worker to retrieve a packet of important papers from the apartment of a Jewish family who had already been detained. [[spoiler: Except it turns out that the "package" is actually a baby hidden in a drawer]]. Jan calls Arondeus out for not telling him what the mission actually was when he gets back.

* OneSteveLimit: Played straight for once. Two of the people who hid the Secret Annex had the same first name (Johannes Kleiman and Johannes Voskuijil), but Voskuijil does not appear in the show, and his major roles in making sure that the Annex wasn't found are either unmentioned (monitoring that the factory workers at Opekta were unaware of the Annex's existence) or not ascribed to anyone in particular (building the bookcase that hid the door to the Annex).

** The scene where this happens is intercut with one where Miep is knocked down by Nazis on a motorcycle, and, overcome by the pressure and frustration of the past few days, she cracks and throws an apple at them. The Nazis are so surprised that they just laugh and speed off, completely missing the ''illegal radio'' that Miep had been hiding in her bag that she was standing right next to.
