Season: Whole show  1  All

All of series 1 (season 1)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: The British paratroop commander is a brigadier-general. The British Army abolished the rank of brigadier-general in 1922 and replaced it with brigadier in 1928. A brigadier is not a general and does not wear a general officer's cap badge.

Edit

Currahee (season 1, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the breakfast scene following the night march where Cpt Winters has to pick 6 men and list their infractions, his mug moves about on his tray from shot to shot.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the bootcamp scene where Captain Sobel is yelling at Private Christenson for drinking from his canteen, you see a machine gun resting on Christenson's right shoulder. When the camera angle changes to behind Christenson, the machine gun has suddenly moved onto his other shoulder. This happens quite a few times in this particular scene.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: The door keeps changing positions in the scene where Sobel is punishing Winters for failing to inspect the latrine.

Edit

⇓

Factual error: In the credits, Ross McCall's character's name is misspelled as "Joesph" D. Liebgott.

⇑
⇓

Factual error: David Webster is shown to be training as part of Easy Company and is present among their number when Lt Meehan informs them that the invasion has been postponed. Webster actually trained with Fox Company and made the jump into Normandy as a member of the Battalion Headquarters Company. He transferred to Easy Company after D-Day.

⇓

Continuity: At the beginning when they show Meehan explaining that they're not going to jump because of fog, he is using his hands to emphasize the point, when they go back to the same point near the end of the episode, Meehan has his hands behind his back.

⇓

Continuity: In Currahee when they are crawling through pig guts Muck goes through and gets blood on his leg from a hanging gut yet the guy behind him goes through the same area and has no blood on his leg.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Character mistake: In the scene where Captain Sobel is searching the soldiers at the beginning of the episode, he goes up to Sergeant Lipton and notices something wrong with his chevrons. Well, in that part, Sergeant Lipton is not standing correctly in the position of attention because he is sort of slouching and his head is in front of his shoulders and the correct position of attention is standing straight up and having your neck behind your shoulders. If he was in the real army, he would have gotten a punishment for not standing at the correct position of attention.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Sobel is explaining to Strayer why he cut the fence, Strayer is a colonel; however, when Winters is briefing his men before going to assault the 105 he refers to him as a Major.

Edit

Day of Days (season 1, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Other: In Episode 2, scene 5, towards the end, Lt. Winters is walking along a road as a column of vehicles pass. As a Tank passes, he salutes using his left hand. In military protocol, it is considered a sign of disrespect to salute with the left hand.

Edit Submitted by Robert M

Carentan (season 1, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: In this episode we see Blithe get shot in the neck and are told that he died in 1948. In reality he was shot in the shoulder and survived. He later served in Korea and was promoted to master sergeant as well as receiving the paratrooper of the year award. Blithe died in 1967 while on active duty in Germany.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Revealing: When the first tank comes during the final battle, look carefully at the German sitting on it and you will see that he's actually a dummy.

Edit

Replacements (season 1, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Other: When Heffron is taking his throw at darts, he states that he needs a "double seven". When he takes the throw, the dart goes into the treble eight (an earlier close-up confirms that the board has the standard Gamlin configuration), yet, from the reaction he gets, he's made the throw he was going for.

Edit Submitted by Tailkinker Time

⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Bull is wounded and crawling through the trench to avoid being run over by the tank, he looks back after the telephone pole comes down and you can see the camera crew in the upper right corner.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the shot before Buck falls back he fires twice. The first time it's ok, the second time the cocking bolt on the side of his Thompson doesn't move.

Edit

Crossroads (season 1, episode 5)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: In the scene where Easy is paddling across the river to aid the British soldiers, there is a shot where the person closest to the camera appears to be rowing, but there is nothing in his hands.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the scene where the men are in the barn. Notice Luz eating. In one shot he is chewing and moving his mouth with sound, then in the next shot, his mouth isn't moving at all yet the chewing sound is still audible.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Winters sits at an outdoor cafe while on leave in Paris in December before the Battle of the Bulge. Even though it's late fall, a tree in the background has green leaves and no one is wearing a coat suitable for that time of year when it is cold.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Part 5: Crossroads. When Dick is typing his report he types "Lipton assembled me a squad". He only types four times for the word squad.
