Plot hole: David couldn't have seen Sutherland's photos because Sutherland hadn't had time to develop them yet. Even if he did, it would have been difficult to find a lab that wouldn't turn him in as a spy. Overall, it would have been much safer to have the film processed in Germany.

Deliberate mistake: When "Henry Faber" discovers the phony airfield, several helicopters with Army markings are among the aircraft visible. Although the Army did use helicopters experimentally during WWII, those used bore no resemblance to those shown in the film.
