Correction: Chapelle Sainte-Barbe in Foy was pre-war and sustained heavy damaged during the battle. The church was restored again after the war. There is a photo taken in 1944 of the church in it's original state only showing minor difference with the present one. Another picture, just taken after the battle shows a tiny part of the church edge, this is a well known image with an ambulance and American GI's. When you visit the church today you still can see some of the battle damage in the form of bullet holes in the stone window frames.

Currahee - S1-E1

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: 40 members of the cast had to go through a ten day bootcamp in which they were called by their roles in the series. Their boot camp instructor, Captain Dale Dye, was also in charge of doing the bootcamp for the main cast of Saving Private Ryan. Dye played the role of Colonel Robert Sink in the series, and a Colonel in the war department in the film. Dale Dye has also starred in, and been a military advisor on many other TV series and films for years, he's an extremely well respected man in the film industry.
