When 'The Old Man' is sitting, seen from his side, his stick rests on top of his arm; when seen from his front, it is tucked under his arm.
The Old Man makes two mistakes in pronouncing the phrase "die Blutfahne" ("the blood flag" of the Nazis). First, he mispronounces "die" the same as the English word "die". The correct German pronunciation rhymes with "see" and "tree". Second, he doesn't pronounce the final "e" in "Blutfahne". It should be pronounced to rhyme with the "e" in the English word "get".
