Jackals are more genetically distinct from other members of Canis, they have different chromosomal counts...they can breed with other jackals, but not with more "dog-like" canids.
But yes, its not as big a difference as, say, dog to hyenas.
I stand corrected. I'm pretty sure that foxes and wolves can't interbreed, but that doesn't seem to bother Monroe & Rosalee
.IIRC, hyenas aren't even really in the dog family, but are more closely related to meercats and mongooses.
I think the reason the Hitler clip was put in the opening montage was to show that there are more Wesen around than we think---some right under our noses! In a way they are a fantasy analog to 'invisible' minorities, like gays or Jews (that is, ones whom you might not know were 'other' unless they said or did something to call attention to it.)

To be fair, they haven't actually said how much of an issue that is for Wesen, except for a bunch of German words that don't really say anything discrete

I think there were some objections raised about the range of whatever type of airplane Kelly and Adalind were riding. I know Beechcraft makes a twin turboprop (KingAir 350ER) that can make nonstop Transatlantic flight, civilian version of the C130 can do the same, to name a few, and they mentioned fuel tanks, which I assume were external fuel tanks that could be jettisoned as the flight progressed. Fly out over the ocean beyond radar, gain altitude for fuel conservation, when you get closer to North America, drop to the deck, sneak into the country, and then climb up to your maximum VFR altitutde so you don't have to talk to anybody. Farfetched by feasible.
What I'm wondering is how Captain Renard knew Nick was a Grimm. Adalind was Nick's first Wogue, but the good Captain seemed to be aware of Nick's Grimm status (or at least his potential Grimm status) before Nick himself did. So that implies that maybe there's an alternative manner of detecting Grimms? Or do the Royals try to keep track of all Grimms, actual and potential?

Maybe he'd been tracking Marie for some reason?
