Inglourious Basterds True Story: Real Life Inspirations For Fredrick Zoller

Though Quentin Tarantino plays very loose with history in his World War II epic, there are Inglourious Basterds true story inspirations. Inglourious Basterds explores an alternate version of WWII, and while its main characters are fictional, many of them are based on real-life people, among those Daniel Brühl’s Fredrick Zoller. Throughout his career as a filmmaker, Tarantino has explored a variety of genres, all of them with his signature narrative style and generous doses of violence and blood, and he has also given the audience a look at alternate versions of history with Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, two of his most critically acclaimed (yet controversial) works.
