When Red Skull shows the Nazi officers his weapon and proceeds to kill them all the map of the "hostile" capitals shows London, Paris, Rome, Berlin and Dublin, however Dublin is actually about 100 miles further south. The pin and the name on the map are on Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland which is part of the UK. Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, was actually neutral during WWII. [This is wrong, the pin is is fact representing Belfast, Part of the UK and therefore hostile to Germany. Making this post somewhat irrelevant.]
Edit
There is a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" reference when the Red Skull first finds the cosmic cube and says "The Fuhrer is digging for trinkets in the desert". [This is more likely a reference to Adolf Hitler's actual archeological digs in North Africa. Coincidence at best.]

The early scene in the movie theatre is in 1943. In the opening newsreel a Sherman Firefly tank is shown. This tank was not made until early 1944 [the long barrel and spherical muzzle brake are distinctive] and would not be shown in a newsreel anyway, for security reasons. [This is a world where WWII is being fought with super soldiers and disintegration rays. The Sherman Firefly may have been developed earlier, especially with geniuses like Howard Stark and Dr. Erskine working for the Allies.]

Howard Stark says that the shield of Rogers is made out of a ''completely vibration absorbing'' material. However, when Carter shoots at it, it has a very distinctive echo to it. Since sound is nothing but vibrating air, the shield is vibrating. [Vibration absorbing doesn't mean there is no vibration, only that it is absorbed. In the same way shock absorbers on a car don't stop the shock of a pothole to the suspension, but absorbs and softens the jolt, vibration absorbing would soften the impact and mitigate the vibration.]

When Captain America found the shield, he was told it was a one-of-a-kind. However, Tony Stark found it in one of his labs and used it to prop something up in one of the Iron Man movies. How can it be in his lab and also encased in ice? [The shield was one of a kind back in the Forties; it's entirely possible that Stark found his father's design and copied it.]

In the scene where Stanley Tucci is interviewing the scrawny Chris Evans, the disease chart behind Evans has diphtheria spelled incorrectly as diptheria. It's noticeable in several shots in the scene. [Diptheria is an accepted alternate spelling in North America.]
Edit Corrected by rswarrior
In one scene, Steve Rogers in shown wearing a Combat Infantry Badge (CIB) on his pocket flap, below his ribbons, with his jump wings above the ribbons. Proper wearing would be jump wings on top, CIB, then the ribbons, all above the pocket flap. [He wasn't a traditional enlisted soldier, so wouldn't have been instructed in the correct way to wear his badges.]
Edit Corrected by MAdMaN
The Army training scenes show African American soldiers intermingled among the troops. The Army was not integrated until after WWII. [The army training scenes we see are not standard. They are experiments to find a test subject to be a super soldier. If a scrawny asthmatic kid like Steve Rogers has been brought in, there is no reason that a healthy African American would not be considered.]
Edit Corrected by MasterOfAll
Dr. Erskine says he lives in Queens at 73rd Street and Utopia Parkway. Those two streets do not intersect. [Yes they most certainly do.]
Edit
Just after Steve gains his new powers, he has to chase down the Hydra spy. He catches him in a sub, Steve punches out the glass on the left side window and pulls the spy out. But later when Howard Stark is investigating the sub the window is not broken. [Some time has passed between the two scenes. Stark must have had the window replaced so he could do underwater tests and see if the technology can be replicated.]
