Corrected entry: In the opening text, the movie states that England was one of the countries that defeated Napoleon at Leipzig. However, England did not participate in that battle; Wellington had just defeated Soult and launched an invasion of southern France at the time. Interestingly, Sweden did send about 30,000 soldiers to fight at Leipzig, but is not mentioned.
Corrected entry: The Prussians are shown as wearing black with the Death's Head logo. In fact they wore dark blue. The uniforms shown were worn by Brunswickers who fought with Wellington.
Correction: The Prussian 2nd Life Hussars wore black with the death head badge. Other Prussian Hussar regiments also had green and brown uniforms as well as blue.
Corrected entry: The British were on the reverse slopes of the ridge all through the battle, to protect them from the French artillery. But when the view of the battlefields is shown from Napoleon's view, he can see the British positions on the forward slope of the ridge.
Correction: Well Wellington has to show some troops. It's like a decoy, he doesn't want Napoleon to see how many he has got, so he hides most of them over the hill. Napoleon even recgonises that this is what he's doing when he ends the line "He is clever."
Corrected entry: Napoleon, played by Rod Steiger, is seen signing his abdication with his right hand. Napoleon was left-handed.
Correction: Napoleon was, in fact, ambidextrous.
Correction: Actually British Troops were at Leipzig - The Royal Horse Artillery Rocket Troop took part.
Only a company took part and under Swedish command, England was not a main combatant at Leipzig.
The 2nd Rocket Troop, Royal Horse Artillery played a distinguished part in the Battle of Leipzig. It was the only unit of the British Army present. The rocketeers, given a guard of Swedish dragoons, advanced to attack five Saxon battalions of the French army in the village of Paunsdorf. Their 28 rocket tubes opened a destructive fire. As the enemy retreated, Captain R. Bogue, commander of the Rocket Troop, charged and died at the head of the squadron of cavalry, and over 2000 enemy surrendered.
