Factual error: The kaishakunin decapitates the officer completely. Traditionally, the kaishakunin should perform dakikubi, leaving a small piece of flesh attached while severing the spinal cord and other parts of the neck so the head does not fly off. The kaishakunin in the show did not attempt to achieve this at all. (00:21:15)

Other mistake: John is promoted to Oberst Gruppenfeuhrer and assumes the uniform of such. He is soon after promoted to interim Reich Marshal. And then he is subsequently fully promoted to Reich Marshal. But he continues to wear the rank insignia of an Oberst Gruppenfeuhrer.

Suggested correction: John does eventually put on the insignia befitting a Reichsmarschall. It's safe to assume he didn't immediately put it on, either because it took a short time to produce new insignia and send it to him (they wouldn't stock insignia for a rank only a few people hold), or because he was still only acting Reichsmarschall.
