Corrected entry: During the funeral scene for the men killed at Pearl Harbor, specifically the LT from the Arizona, it shows the white wooden crosses marking the graves in a disorganized pattern. All graves are arranged so that when looking at the crosses or head stones they all form a straight line in every direction.
Corrected entry: When the attack from Japan starts at Midway and the message is reported to Nimitz, he is telling Layton that he was off slightly on his calculations. He looks at his watch, which should show 6:40 ish, but shows 3 o'clock.
Correction: This is very questionable. First to get a good look at the hands on the watch, you have to pause the movie. When paused, you see a fuzzy view of the hands of the watch. You can make out one short hand (hours) and two longer hands (minutes/seconds). The short hand is pointing down towards around six or seven. One of the long hands is pointed up, at around twelve. The other long hand points towards the area of four, neither long hand (minutes) position of which would give a time of 3:00.
Corrected entry: When Nimitz is wearing his ribbons, the first looks like the Medal of Honor which Nimitz was never awarded.
Correction: It is the light blue ribbon of the silver lifesaving medal, which Nimitz was awarded in 1912.
The ribbon of the silver lifesaving medal is dark blue and grey.
Correction: There is a picture of Nimitz where he is wearing the exact same ribbon as depicted in the movie. The light blue one is not the medal of honor as it is missing the five stars.
Corrected entry: Admiral Yamamoto and Nagumo are in the back of the car about 30 minutes into the movie. As the camera pans outside, you can see the car is driving on the right side of the road. Japan drives on the left. (00:28:00)
Correction: You only see the car park on the right side of the road, it came from the left side of the road. A car behind this one is driving on the left.
Correction: This would have been a temporary burial. The remains would later be moved to a permanent location with the neatly arrayed rows of headstones. Historical video footage from many of the Pacific Island campaigns show temporary cemeteries on the islands, were soldiers and Marines died, being established using wooden crosses, often not in perfect alignment.
