―Volkswagen Kübelwagen Hauptscharführer

The forest road was a road in an unknown French forest, where Donny Donowitz, Hugo Stiglitz and Gerold Hirschberg ambushed a Nazi car and killed its occupants, while disguised as German soldiers.

Overview[]

The road forest appears to have cubic stone slabs, which suggests that it could be near a main road, highway or a town/village. The forest that the road crosses is a deciduous one.

In Inglourious Basterds[]

Chapter Four - OPERATION KINO[]

The forest and the forest road appear in a flashback, after Landa tells the soldier accompanying him how Stiglitz and Wilhelm Wicki would don Nazi uniforms and ambush German military cars. In the flashback we see Hirschberg, Stiglitz and Donny wearing German uniforms and mowing down a group of 5 German soldiers in a car with MP40s, leaving no survivors.

Trivia[]

  • Unlike in previous operations, The Basterds here do not appear to leave survivors, so how would Landa know the two dead Basterds from the tavern would wear German uniforms to bait unsuspecting German squads remains a mystery.
  • When we first see the car stopping, a building can be seen in the upper right corner of the frame. It's unknown if this is a goof or intentional.
  • Despite the story taking place sometime in May-June, the forest shows fall foliage.
