The True Amazon

Unfortunately, we witness Antiope’s  death when the Germans arrive, but not before she becomes the most bad-ass female comic book movie character we’ve ever seen. Her death and her words eventually convince Diana to put on Antiope’s tiara and go out to destroy Ares.

Antiope did die in the comics, but with no German connection. But there could be a nod to a different character here.

In the comic book titled The True Amazon, a spoiled Diana provokes the death of the Amazon Alethea (whose name means Truth). As a result, she’s forced to wear the dead Amazon’s battle garb (guess the colors). The tiara she receives in this case is considered a crown of thorns, a symbol of her own failure to understand what it means to be an Amazon.
