Absolutely EMBARRASING that at my big age it was only just now that I realized that Zeller made a PUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The ostrich buries it's head in the sand....and sometimes in the flag"
I thought it was just an insult of "You're delusional," but the reason he mentions Ostriches is because it sounds like Osterreich, the native name for freaking Austria!!!!!!!!

Amazing! Never quite understood that bit - it makes better sense now... (Quite subtle though!)

I had no idea that Osterreich was the native name for Austria. Good trivia Zestylime!
I like in this same scene after Georg says "How clumsy of me, I meant to accuse you" the lady who is standing there has kind of a "ha, he got you on that one" look on her face when Zeller turns to her.
I also like that Max seems to materialize out of nowhere to back up Georg when he could see that there might be trouble. Georg does have friends at the party!

That line was always interesting to me and even more interesting now.
I really do have to roll my eyes at Zeller. When the Baron said that there is nothing more beautiful in this country than the innocent voices of our children... Zeller had to have a whole hissy. Like sir, the man wasn't saying only Austria had virtue. Just that he thought it was the best part of Austria. Calm down loser.
Also I kind of have to cackle when Georg is like "mmm yeah buddy if the Nazi's take over you will be the entire trumpet section" and Zeller than becomes the gauleiter. Georg knew exactly what kind of man he was.
Also as an adult now I really have noticed how ballsy and defiant Georg hanging up the Austrian flag in his home was given the current political climate in Austria at that time.
