During the filming of 2011’s Captain America, actor Chris Evans expressed concern about the placement of the eagle in the background of this scene, claiming that it bore a striking resemblance to the imperial eagle used by the Nazi regime. Director Joe Johnston admitted the error, stating that his knowledge of WW2 history was “shaky at best.”
