Miller rigs his booby trap by attaching the wires from the bomb to a pole down which a metal runner slides, so that when the runner touches the wires it completes the circuit and detonates the bomb. The trouble is, the pole is made of steel, and steel is very conductive indeed. The circuit will actually be completed when Miller attaches the battery, and he and his booby trap will be blown sky high. [Miller probably did it right. He first put enough layers of insulation tape on the metal rail and then taped the bare wires on to it with some gap. The circuit was completed by the metal runner when it ran over the bare wires.]

Near the end of the movie Maria says to Andrea "now you will go back to Crete" you hear him say "yes", but his lips don't move. [Try saying the word "Yes", you will find that your lips do not move when you say it.]

It is typical for English-speaking actors trying to speak German, but still noticeable: With his thick accent, speech rhythm and choice of words in his 'perfect German' ("Meine Uhr muß zu langsam gehen" - 'My watch must be going too slow'; in German you would say:"Meine Uhr geht wohl nach"), Mallory would have had his crew caught much faster than he could say 'Hey.' [If you're referring to scene where he answers the captured field phone, that's the point of the scene. The German he's talking to recognizes the fake accent and poor grammar and sounds the alarm.]
