The tune whistled at the end of the episode was "Colonel Bogey March," a British march composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts, a British Army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth. The march is often whistled. It's likely meaning here relates to its popularity as a song of defiance against Hitler's Nazi-German regime. It has been featured in films since it first appeared in The Lady Vanishes (1938), Empire magazine included the tune in its list of 25 of Cinema's Catchiest Earworms.
