Hans Landa's Pipe

We seeColonel Landa smoking a calabash pipe when talking to the man who is hiding the jews.  This is a reference to Sherlock Holmes as it is a typical steroetype to draw upon. It also suggests the fact that Landa's character has solved the case of the hiding family and is a "detective" for the Nazis. Either way it looks out of place in this period of history, but is seen as a cultural norm which actually is false.
