Factual error: This is one of two episodes in the series where a WW2-era German MP38/40 submachine gun was used by American forces (Master Sergeant Jiggs, in this episode) rather than an American weapon such as a Thompson submachine gun.

Time Tunnel (1966)
Factual error: Raul Nimon uses a silencer-equipped revolver during his attack in the tunnel control room. In reality, a silencer on a revolver is useless, as the exploding gases from the bullet discharge (the gun blast) would exit from the space between the cylinder and gun barrel.

Time Tunnel (1966)
Factual error: One of the Spanish soldiers lights a torch with what appears to be a hand-held lighter. Early lighters were converted flintlock pistols (not yet invented during the time of this episode) and the earliest hand-held lighter would not be invented until three hundred years after this episode's timeline.

Factual error: The Gestapo major's office has a picture of Rudolf Hess hanging on the wall. Not likely, as Hess parachuted into Scotland in 1941 and was considered a traitor to the Third Reich.

Factual error: While firing their muskets at the guards as they rescue the Dauphin, Tony and Doug each quickly discharge their weapons twice without reloading. Muskets are one-shot weapons that required immediate reloading after firing.
