Several generations of people have enjoyed watching the famous Soviet film “17 Moments of Spring”. But it also contains a lot of errors, inconsistencies, to which almost no one pays attention. Ill-conceived alibis, voiced to "colleagues", could already be the reason for his disclosure. But that's not all. The film features a lot of items that ended up in Germany in 1945, not just from the USSR, but from the future.
1. Wall clock "Glory" in Muller's office
In the frame, only once or twice a clock flashes on the wall, which was made in the Soviet state in the seventies, but this is enough. The movie blooper is especially striking when you watch the color version. In fact, they were not needed there at all, since there is a large clock in the office, mechanical, with a cabinet made of wood, with legs.
2. The felt-tip pen used by Stirlitz
Much more often we see a felt-tip pen, with which the intelligence officer wrote down the codes and drew cartoons on his “colleagues”. But at that time there were no markers yet. They appeared on the market in the sixtieth year. There can be no doubt that Stirlitz is holding this particular artistic instrument. To be sure, just look at the lines he leaves on the paper. Pencils and pens don't write like that.
It can be seen in more detail in the frames where the hero draws cartoons. Visually, it is similar to a ballpoint pen, but if you look closely from the side, you can see the details typical of felt-tip pens. But we already know that in 1945 this product simply could not exist in Germany, as in the USSR.
3. Telegram
If we recall the plot, then in the film there is a moment where Werner Pleischner (professor) fills out a telegram form. It is this form that arouses the interest of the observant viewer. There are two points of interest. The first element is a globe-like circle located under the word "telegram". It is drawn using ordinary black paste. Under this circle, looking closely, you can see the coat of arms of the Soviet Union.
An equally important detail is in the corner of the letterhead. The characteristic “rub / kopeck” flashes several times, which is rather strange. It turns out that the Germans had the currency of the Soviet Union even before the end of the war.
4. Plumbing in Stirlitz's apartment
The screen clearly shows that in the apartment of the RSHA, where Stirlitz lived, plumbing fixtures made in the USSR were installed. But this fact did not affect the film as a whole. Indeed, no one would look for wartime products that the Germans used. And even if someone paid attention to such a shot, the person was not particularly surprised. Who knows what sinks and toilets were in Germany.

5. Sunglasses
If you think carefully, then the scout Stirlitz was not just cool, but also fashionable, moreover, by the standards of people who lived in the seventies. The stereotypes about spies also left their mark. Everywhere they were depicted in hats, long dark cloaks and glasses with dark lenses. As for Stirlitz, he didn't bother too much. He was completely satisfied with the glasses from the sun, again from the future. They were produced in large batches in the Soviet Union in the 70th year. Everyone wore them then, as it was fashionable. In the film, this accessory was used to prevent the hero from being too "exposed". But if you judge, then a person with glasses will be remembered faster than someone with an open face.

There were other inconsistencies and bloopers, but this already refers to the behavior of the characters. If desired, they could be declassified in no time. The shot where Stirlitz asked his "spouse" to fix his cufflinks clearly shows that they have wedding rings on their right hand, while the Germans wore them on their left.
Despite all the inaccuracies and mistakes, the full-length film was considered one of the best films for many years and remains so in our time.
