Anecdotes
Though Hartmann and Legat are fictional, Harris confirms that they are partially inspired by the diplomat Adam von Trott zu Solz and the scholar AL Rowse. The latter, who was gay, wrote about his intense platonic attachment to Trott at Oxford. Trott, though a considerably less amiable character than the fictional Hartmann, went on to join Claus von Stauffenberg's 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler. It failed and Trott was executed.

Gaffes
When in Munich, Paul is clearly paranoid about not being heard or seen with Hugh, yet they both speak publicly, in German, about stopping Hitler's plans right next to a table of German military members. He even makes himself noticeable by borrowing their newspaper, yet no one addresses nor questions his actions.

Citations
Paul von Hartman: We don't choose the times we live in. The only choice we have is how we respond.

Garbage

Seems there are many "studio inspired" positive reviews here. This is certainly no 10! First, the film should have carried a "historical fiction" disclaimer as most of the events depicted never happened. Second, the Munich agreement didn't "buy time," in fact after Poland was invaded and Britain declared war on Germany, there was no war. The peaceful interlude, called the "phony war," bought time to prepare for war, not Munich. I suppose this propaganda was made to rehabilitate Chamberlain's image. Meh.

For a truly historical account of these events watch Darkest Hour (2017).
