Other mistake: The Tiger tank wouldn't have burst from cover after picking off one Sherman. Why would it when it could stay put and pick them off as they approach? Even in 1945 when recruits weren't always well trained, the German Wehrmacht didn't give Tigers to newbies. (01:17:10)
Other mistake: Just before the final battle, while ammo checks are being done a shot is fired from Norman's machine gun when when the camera is aimed at the road. No sound accompanies the shot and at that stage of the battle they were supposed to be quiet, not taking test shots.
Other mistake: The credits list "Young SS Trouper" instead of "Trooper." (02:03:30)
Other mistake: It's established that Emma doesn't understand English as shown by Norman having to mime when talking in the bedroom. However just before this, Wardaddy calls her a nice clean girl and Norm should take her in the bedroom, or he would. Emma then walks towards the bedroom and pulls Norman after her. Wardaddy doesn't point to the door or motion in anyway to give away what he said. So how did Emma know to go to the bedroom? (00:57:45)
Answer: Gordo was making a point to Norman that the crew of the "Fury" had seen some horrible things during the Battle of the Falaise Pocket. After wiping out an entire German army there, they were tasked with putting wounded horses out of their misery. The point was that Norman was not there, and did not experience what they had, so Norman could not judge the tank crew's actions.

Gordo brought up the horse thing because him and the other (original) crew members were not happy with Don and Norman enjoying a nice, quiet meal without them. He even say's "You weren't there" meaning Don sharing this with Norman when he hadn't yet been through much war time like all of them had, together. They also say "We weren't invited", "Why weren't we invited." The horse story was to get at Don for not inviting them and sharing it only with Norman.
