Day of Days - S1-E2
Character mistake: Winter calls his officer Major Strayers, when actually Strayers was a Lt Colonel. Winters made the same mistake in Currahee when walking upstairs with Capt Sobel.
Suggested correction: Strayer didn't become a Lt. Colonel until 1945. In fact, Winters took over leading 2nd battalion of the 506th from Major Strayer when he became a Major and Strayer was promoted to lead the regiment.
Continuity mistake: In the bootcamp scene where Captain Sobel is yelling at Private Christenson for drinking from his canteen, you see a machine gun resting on Christenson's right shoulder. When the camera angle changes to behind Christenson, the machine gun has suddenly moved onto his other shoulder. This happens quite a few times in this particular scene.
Guarnere: Jesus Christ, we gotta do all this with a C.O. who has his head so far up his fuckin' ass, that lump in his throat is his goddamn nose.
Trivia: Band of Brothers was HBO's most expensive project ever.
Crossroads - S1-E5
Question: How exactly do the M1 Garands work? I noticed that after the clip is emptied a metal type plate comes out the top of the rifle, what is that?
Answer: That actually is the clip. It is loaded into the top of the rifle, and is ejected with the last round. See http://www.wwiitech.net/main/usa/weapons/m1/.
