Bridgehead - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: As Saunders and Little John crawl past the dead GI Kirby is shown being treated by the medic, camera cuts to the bridge then back to the church and then you see Kirby getting shot. (00:26:00)

The Glory Among Men - S2-E32

Revealing mistake: In several scenes when they show the front of the barrel of the German machine gun you can see the "blank adaptor" inside the barrel. This is inserted to not allow the gas from the cartridge to escape out the barrel but "blow back" the bolt and insert another round.

Masquerade - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode the barrel points to his left, during the close ups talking to the men in the jeep it points to his right, and as the jeep pulls away within the next frame it switches from left to right. Also, the men behind the jeep go from sitting to marching instantly. (00:01:00 - 00:02:00)

Braddock: Don't just stand there sucking on a prune pit, get these men some water.

Trivia: Actor Vic Morrow used a non-firing wooden replica of a Tompson submachine gun due to its lighter weight, thus being easier to carry. He used a heavier blank-firing model when it was required to be fired.
