Factual error: In the closing shots when Van der Poel is being driven away by the Military Police there is a Land Rover parked in front of a building. Land Rovers were not put into production until 1948 so it is seven years too early. (02:03:26)
Factual error: Several British soldiers are seen carrying Lee Enfield Mk. 4 rifles which were not introduced to general service use at this time.
Capt. Anson: I'll tell you this, the next drink I have's gonna be a lager. Ice cold. There's a little bar in Alex with a marble top counter and high stools. They serve the best beer in all the middle east. When we get through with this lot I'm gonna buy you one. I'll buy you all one.
Trivia: The Ice Cold in Alex refers to an Ice Cold Carlsberg lager when they reach their destination - the final scene, where they get their ice cold lager was later used by Carlsberg in an advertising campaign.
