Day of Days - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: During the battle to take out the 88s, the camera pans to Lt. Winters reloading his M1 Garand. If you look closely, you can see he is loading blanks into his weapon. (00:31:29)
Richard Winters: That night, I thanked God for seeing me through that day of days and prayed I would make it through D plus 1. I also promised that if some way I could get home again, I would find a nice peaceful town and spend the rest of my life in peace.
Trivia: Band of Brothers was HBO's most expensive project ever.
