The first panoramic shots of trenches, with the voiceover of The Shepherd, in particular the part depicting mountains of shell cases are taken from real photographs of the Battle of The Somme. Fought between July and November 1916, with no clear winner, it cost the lives of around 700,000 British and French soldiers and 550,000 Germans. As shown, entire battalions were mowed down with machine gun fire, and over one million shells were fired in the first week alone.
As shown in the film, the real King George V did change his last name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor as a result of anti-German public sentiment. He was the father of King George VI and grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II.
General Kitchener's line "The objective of war is not to die for one's country, but to make the enemy die for theirs!" is a far more refined version of a real line by WWII General George S. Patton on a speech to the men of the Third U.S. Army on May 31, 1944. The actual line goes: "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
At one point, Conrad shows his father a white feather, given as a symbol of cowardice for not fighting in the war. This was a real-life practice: the Order of the White Feather was a club that publicly humiliated men into military service by directly giving/sending them white feathers. The Order was devised by Admiral Penrose-Fitzgerald to boost recruitment and patriotism; while effective, sometimes the wrong people got targeted (one case had a wounded serviceman receive a feather on his way to the reception for his decoration).
The incident of the Zimmermann Telegram is a real historical fact. Germany did propose Mexico to invade the United States in order to keep them out of Europe even if war was declared. Mexico was offered the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, that it lost during the Mexican-American war. Also, as depicted in the film, the telegram was sent to the German ambassador in Mexico City (one Heinrich von Eckardt), was indeed intercepted by Britain, decrypted and given to President Woodrow Wilson, who did wait for confirmation. In the end, Mexico, which was in the middle of a civil war, refused the German proposal.
"Duke of Oxford: Reputation is what people think of you. Character is what you are."
"Duke of Oxford: Real power is not found running off to war. Real power lies in understanding who it is you're truly fighting, and how they can be defeated."
