However, a person voluntarily is shot as a test of a “bulletproof suit” and another jumps out a window as a test of a “parachute hat”. Both of these are played as jokes

The final speech is given to camera but the character is talking to a crowd. I wouldn't say it breaks the fourth wall but it is uncomfortable if you don't like sustained eye contact.

Although hate speech is a plot point as this film is a parody of Nazism, there is no hate speech in the dialogue because all hate speech is spoken in gibberish.

The movie is a satire of Hitler and Nazism and references Hitler's antisemitism.

Yes, near the start quite a distressing crash as we see a person hit the ground however both people in the plane survive. Later there is an audio joke referring to a plane crashing.
