Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: In one scene, the barn-like structure ‘petit restaurant' has the words 'hotel' on the left and 'cafe' on the right, but the building gets a grenade to the upper floor to clear the two snipers pinning down Easy Company. After the retreat, the Germans march past and the Hotel/Cafe is fully restored and the window is back in place.
Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: During the retreat from the town near Eindhoven, Buck Compton instructs a soldier to take out an MG42, which is on a rooftop at medium to long range, using a rifle grenade. The soldier aims simply by propping the rifle against the ground and firing (with his head down). The grenade hits almost perfectly, an unlikely outcome. (00:36:00)
Correction: A rifle grenade often used ranges marked out by the angle of the rifle. The sling would be used to determine this angle. The soldier could use his sling to determine the angle at the range he guessed the machine gun to be at.
Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: 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.
Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: When they are suiting up for the Market Garden jump, Bull tells Garcia to "lose the reserve, we're jumping low," which is very untrue. The Market Garden was planned as a jump from 1000 to 1250 feet, which is higher than they did many of their qualifying jumps from.
Correction: As the saying goes: "nothing survives first contact"; the pilots could have changed the height, from that first briefed back at base, due to any number of reasons.
Replacements - S1-E4
Corrected entry: In part 4, 'The Replacements,' when the MG-42 starts firing after the first Sherman is hit, it stops and starts continually and flashes when the gun isn't firing.
Correction: All of the shooting in this mini-series, is done stylistically, as if you are actually present there in combat with them. Thus having certain times (as in the case with Tipper in Carentan) the sound is muffled. When a machine gun opens up on you, you don't hear every single shot. Especially when it is on top of a building, and there are obstacles in your path of hearing.
Correction: We see 3 sides of the Petit building. One side of Petit has 4 dormer windows directly over the restaurant's outdoor dining area [00:32:20 and 00:36:48]. Two sides of Petit display words "Petit Restaurant, Hotel, Cafe, Schafrath" and it's one of these sides that faces the church (note its steeple). Easy Company retreat in the direction from where they came (Eindhoven). It cuts to German forces in Nuenen, and in this shot the church is behind the Petit building, with only the church steeple visible. The Petit's side that faces the church is the side with the huge bazooka hole. Here we see the church behind the Petit, and the Petit's 4 dormer windows, so this is in fact the opposite side of the Petit building - with its full display name and an additional sign "Schafrath" below, intact on this side [00:42:20].
