Crossroads - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: When Easy is paddling across the river to aid the British soldiers, there is a shot where the person closest to the camera (Bull Randleman) appears to be rowing, but there is nothing in his hands.

Crossroads - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the men are in the barn. Notice Luz eating. In one shot he is chewing and moving his mouth with sound, then in the next shot, his mouth isn't moving at all yet the chewing sound is still audible. (00:00:55)

Crossroads - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In part 5 when Easy company surprises the two sleeping German companies, with Winters leading the charge. Winters crosses the berm and a sleeping German stands up, and gets shot. Winters then shoots off 9 more rounds (2 too many), then reloads, drops to one knee and only shoots 6 rounds (2 too few), and in both cases the clip ejects as if it were a normal 8 round firing sequence.

Crossroads - S1-E5

Factual error: In the Battalion HQ, British colonel Dobie is seen wearing an American jacket with the 101st divisional patch on the upper left arm. He is also wearing an American issue belt with canteen and sidearm holster. (00:06:05)

Suggested correction: His clothes hadn't dried yet after swimming through a river to reach the US line. So the Yanks gave him their clothes to wear instead.
