a much much better reference guide can be found at http://www.tv.com/Family+Guy/Road+to+Germany/episode/1133420/trivia.html

the whole point of reference guide is to explain what obscure things the jokes are referring to, not just to point them out.

While stewie, Brain and Mort are flying a german war plane to Berlin to get Uranium (I believe). The second wave of fighters they encounter they realize they are out numbered. Then one says no we are not, the camera shows hundreds of "bird like men" flying then diving into the attack. This is a scene from 1982's "Flash Gordon/Savior of the Universe"

No mention of the mirror scene with Stewie and Hitler, which is paying homage to the Marx Brothers movie "Duck Soup"
