Did the Nazi Army have a telephone conversation pattern?
score:8
The German army had the general directive H.Dv. 95/13 Der Feldfernsprecher 33 (Heeres-Druckvorschriften) (no digitised version available, current physical copies in corona lockdown).
But that is probably not really what you look for.
Apart from deducing anything from a Hollywood movie about nazis… That is in general just not a venue of inquiry to learn much of anything.
It seems more fruitful to look into 'Prussian officer's jargon' and speech style. Admittedly being more of an issue for sociolinguistics.
While the movie just focusses on making a general 'military' impression, the actual speech style of that army was still very much the Kaiser's army one. Full of ellipses and fragments. Shortness, brashness, flippancy, nominal style. Sometimes a tiny bit subverted if Saxon, Bavarian or Austrian officers were involved?
In the actual situation of a conspiracy-fueled assassination attempt and coup d'etat, it seems also quite impractical to focus anything on the redundancy of politeness. After all, any German speaking telephone user, including private ones, was issued this directive:
From Wikipedia; Telefon
("Nimm Rücksicht auf Wartende. Fasse dich kurz!)
("Be considerate of people waiting. Keep it short!" (ie efficient))
