Show generally

Corrected entry: Doc Roe is supposed to be a southerner, but he sounds like he's from Boston or such. I am from Mississippi and I have never heard any true southerner talk like that.

Correction: Doc Roe is from Louisiana, he states that he is cajun, and that is how "Cajun" people sound.

Show generally

Corrected entry: For the jump into Normandy, the C-47s had their doors removed. This is shown when the paratroopers are chuting up and when they're in flight, yet when the planes are taking off the doors are back on the aircraft.

Correction: Not all of the doors were taken off, the paratroopers had a choice to ride with the doors open to smoke, and closed to reduce the noise. Smoking with closed doors was regarded as a hazard, as the smoke would need to vent.

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.

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.

Crossroads - S1-E5

Trivia: In the scene where the Red Devils toast the 101st Airborne, when the camera shows the assembled soldiers you'll see Tom Hanks as one of the Red Devils in a beret at the back left (5 or 6 men in) with his right hand on his hip. His head moves forwards to become obscured behind another soldier. (00:30:30)

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/.
