Corrected entry: In the scene where Lt. Aldo Raine is briefing the newly formed squad of Basterds, he wears the Special Forces Branch Insignia on the left collar of his chocolate brown shirt. The special forces didn't exist as a separate branch (and had no own insignia) until June 19, 1952. Since this particular scene happens in 1944 it is not possible for Lt. Aldo Raine to wear this SF branch insignia. He is however part of the 1st Special Service Force (shown by the red USA-CANADA patch on his left sleeve), which is the predecessor of the modern US and Canadian Special Forces. (00:22:40)

Correction: There's a lot of things that didn't happen in "our" history in this film (Hitler killed in 1944, etc.); this is Quentin Tarantino's rewriting of history, so the Special Forces could have indeed been a separate branch in this version of 1944.
