Trivia: Early on in the film an officer shows a copy of Playboy magazine to a crewman. Erika Eleniak was the centerfold in that issue of Playboy.

Hart's War (2002)

Factual error: There is no way that Col.McNamara could allocate which hut men went into. The Germans controlled this. Also there is no way he could just turn up at the Camp Kommandant's office unannounced and talk to him.

Hart's War (2002)

Factual error: The date at the start of the film is 16th December 1944, which was the first day of the German Ardennes offensive. The opening scenes show snow on the ground and roads. When the offensive started the weather was wet and foggy. It didn't snow until Dec 24th.

Revealing mistake: When the Surprise is disguised as a whaler, it burns smoke from the front end of the ship to make it look as though it is making whale oil. When it is chased by the French ship the smoke blows back over the ship. As they are sailing ships the wind is behind them which means the smoke should blow forward. (01:44:45)
