I disagree with the line He is nicknamed "The Jew Hunter" in reference to his keen ability to locate Jews hiding throughout France, a nickname he feels he's earned and wears with a certain measure of pride.
Late in the film when he is speaking to Aldo and Omar in the bar, he expresses his dislike of the nickname and asserts that he's just a detective doing a job. To me this is most likely his true feelings. His earlier statements about liking the nickname is making sure the French farmer was aware of his reputation as the "Jew Hunter" as it would help in breaking his will. I believe the line in the article should be altered to reflect this, but I can't find the words. 75.141.231.101 (talk) 13:23, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
I am not sure the character of Hans Landa, albeit it is a very interesting one, deserves a whole article. It seems to me that almost all the sources given are about Waltz or about the film rather than about Landa himself. Other opinions? Goochelaar (talk) 11:45, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
What information suggests that the character is Austro-German? Is it simply that Waltz is Austrian? Does Landa speak German with an Austrian accent in the film, or does the character wear some sort of insignia indicating his heritage? It would probably be beneficial to reveal where this information comes from. Chell484 (talk) 21:42, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
I deleted the line about the individual from Slashfilm, but was told it was vandalism. This appears to be promotion for Slashfilm, and for the writer in question. This seems out of place to me, and I believe it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.15.59.31 (talk) 19:41, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
You should certainly identify the source of the comment - that's what footnotes/reference are for, are they not? This blogger is directly referenced twice in this entry, which seems very un-encyclopedic to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.15.59.31 (talk) 21:48, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Are you joking? Is it really worthwhile to state in a wikipedia author that a blogger felt that the actor would win an academy award? What does that add to the article? And the fact that a blogger has an opinion about some symbolism (the pipe/milk) - is he an expert? What are you, this guy's pal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.15.59.31 (talk) 14:02, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
The article states that the German name "Hermann" would contain the parts "Herr" (Mr.) and "Mann" (man). However, the German "Hermann" comes from "Heer" and "Mann", meaning soldier (as an "Army man"). Without proper citation, I would suggest removing this part from the Analysis section. 129.69.94.118 (talk) 07:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
The Hitler family were Sudeten Germans and Waldheim was of Slavic descent originally Watlawik from VáclavíkRichardBond (talk) 18:36, 2 July 2012 (UTC) Hitler family not sudeten German, just Austrian from core Austria 178.210.114.106 (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
The SD diamond on Landa's Sleeve with the white piping around it shows he is in the Gestapo or has Gestapo affilation. Only Gestapo Officers wore the SD diamond w/ white piping. Other units under the RSHA (Reich Security Office) just wore the SD diamond with no piping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.92.112 (talk) 04:39, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I saw his award list was blanked as "in-universe trivia". Any thoughts on this? -OberRanks (talk) 21:02, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
His decorations are discussed in a few film literature books. I found a reference in a book called "Himmler's Troops" or something like that. Perhaps we should leave the list in? -OberRanks (talk) 18:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey User:Samurai Kung fu Cowboy, I think it's important that we mention in the article text what the source is for information about landa after the end of the film, because otherwise readers will assume the information was contained in the film (perhaps in an intertitle) or in some other source, like a novelization.
I also use the verbiage of "mused" because it didn't seem to me, listening to the podcast, that Tarantino had committed himself to anything.
Anyhow, I hope you find these considerations about how the page should be edited convincing. See ya! Dingolover6969 (talk) 07:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Is an "Original Research" tag really correct/necessary here? As the previous editor who put it in wrote, it's "correct," but I don't think I've seen other cases where WP articles on characters discussing plot points in media/art they appear in actually cite said media/art (i.e., you don't cite "Shakespeare, William (1695)" in the article for Romeo Montague). Also, "Original Research" is supposed to point out material "for which no reliable, published sources exist" -- but we have one: The movie itself. Saying recounting plot points from the original media without citation constitutes "original research" is... pretty problematic for much of Wikipedia.
Just for future reference, and because I have a minute, here's a transcript of Hans Landa's relevant lines:
“ | So when the military history of this night is written, it will be recorded that I was part of Operation Kino from the very beginning as a double agent, anything I've done in my guise as an SS Colonel was sanctioned by the OSS as a necessary evil to establish my cover with the Germans, and it was my placement of Lieutenant Raine's dynamite in Hitler and Goebbels' opera box that assured their demise... I want my full military pension and benefits under my proper rank, I want to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for my invaluable assistance in the toppling of the Third Reich, in fact, I want all the members of Operation Kino to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, full citizenship for myself -- Well, that goes without saying -- and I would like the United States of America to purchase property for me on Nantucket Island as a reward for all the countless lives I've saved by bringing the tyranny of the National Socialist party to a swifter-than-imagined end. Do you have all that, sir? | ” |
