Factual error: During the German assault on the bridge, one of the destroyed vehicles on the bridge is actually a French Hotchkiss-Brandt CC-2-55. Although it is disguised as a German Marder III tank destroyer, its lower chassis is still easily recognisable as the CC-2-55.

A Bridge Too Far (1977)

Factual error: In the first shot of the scene when the 30 Corps lines up on the roadside while Fox yells at his men, two of the Sherman tanks can been seen with objects which look like tires beneath their chassis. These two tanks are likely to be mock-ups built on wheeled vehicles. (00:43:30)
