Replacements - S1-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When Bull is wounded and crawling through the trench to avoid being run over by the tank, he looks back after the telephone pole comes down and you can see the camera crew in the upper right corner.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: At no point after the telephone pole comes down, do we see Bull look behind again. In fact the next time we see Bull is when darkness has fallen, and he is in the culvert before moving to the barn.

Continuity mistake: In the shot before Buck falls back he fires twice. The first time it's ok, the second time the cocking bolt on the side of his Thompson doesn't move.

Replacements - S1-E4

Other mistake: When Heffron is taking his throw at darts, he states that he needs a "double seven". When he takes the throw, the dart goes into the treble eight (an earlier close-up confirms that the board has the standard Gamlin configuration), yet, from the reaction he gets, he's made the throw he was going for.

Replacements - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Just after the Sherman has knocked down the telephone pole we see two German guys up on a roof. In the long shot there is a bullet hole in the brickwork in front of them and in the close up it's gone. (00:34:30)

Factual error: Miller states he got a "Presidential Unit Citation" ribbon as part of the Normandy landings. However until Jan 1957, it was called a Distinguished Unit Citation. (00:07:30)

Richard Winters: That night, I thanked God for seeing me through that day of days and prayed I would make it through D plus 1. I also promised that if some way I could get home again, I would find a nice peaceful town and spend the rest of my life in peace.

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/.
