Band of Brothers

The Patrol - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When The Patrol is on its way, one of the boats tilts over and some soldiers are screaming they can't swim. At some point during that scene there is a wide shot with in the background the other side and a skylight. Right in the middle of that shot on the other side you can see a man walking away wearing a orange vest or jacket of some sorts. Might be the pyro-guy. (00:33:15)

Replacements - S1-E4

Visible crew/equipment: Just after the jump into Holland, the paratroopers run across an open field. Just before the camera cuts to them in a ditch, there is a wide shot of them running in the field. At the end of the field, two large blue tents can be seen.

Currahee - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Sobel is being tricked out in the field about cutting the fence, his wet helmet reflects what seems to be a camera or filming equipment that is not visible in the wide shots. (00:38:05)

Carentan - S1-E3

Factual error: In this episode we see Blithe get shot in the neck and are told that he died in 1948. In reality he was shot in the shoulder and survived. He later served in Korea and was promoted to master sergeant as well as receiving the paratrooper of the year award. Blithe died in 1967 while on active duty in Germany.

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/.
