Wonder Woman (2017)

Other mistake: Field Marshal Haig is listed in the credits as Field Marshall Haig. This spelling (with two Ls) is only ever a surname, not a rank or job title.

SS-GB (2016)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Other mistake: A major plot point is the rivalry between the Wehrmacht and the SS, who refuse to work together. After the explosion at the cemetery, it is the Wehrmacht who are explicitly described as rounding up and interning suspected resistance fighters, with the SS not being party to it. However, when Archer visits the internment camp, most of the staff are wearing SS uniform.

SS-GB (2016)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Other mistake: The German officer in the pub is described in the credits as an unteroffizier (corporal or, generically, NCO). He actually wears the uniform of an oberleutnant (lieutenant), a commissioned officer.

Peaky Blinders (2013)

Season 2 generally

Other mistake: The Birmingham police officer, Moss, is still listed in the credits as Sergeant Moss. He held that rank in Season 1, but in Season 2 he wears inspector's rank insignia. Campbell does address him as Mr Moss, the correct title for an inspector.

Other mistake: When giving Sting to Bilbo, Gandalf tells him it is an Elven blade and will therefore glow blue when Orcs are near. However, Glamdring and Orcrist are also stated to be Elven blades, but they do not glow blue.

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Other mistake: Sergeant Fisher is never seen wearing any rank insignia. He therefore appears to be an ordinary PC.
