The Breaking Point - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: In "The Breaking Point," Lipton is narrating the bombardment of the woods right outside of Foy. Just before he says, "What I saw that day," at 30:55, you see a section of a tree explode, but when the debris (i.e. the splinters of wood and snow) clears you see that the "blown up" section of the tree is unharmed. (00:30:55)

The Breaking Point - S1-E7

Factual error: The "officer on horseback" shot by Cpl Hoobler has a shoulder board denoting a Wehrmacht Sergeant's rank, but a collar patch denoting an SS Over and an SS Obersturmfuhrer (lieutenant).

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.
