Other mistake: After the failed invasion of Russia, the narration says out of the "600,000" that went into Russian, only 40,000 returned. That means 560,000 died. However at the end of the movie, Napoleon's losses are listed, the last one being "Invasion of Russia" where the dead are listed as "460,000" which is 100,000 off. (01:51:18 - 02:28:16)
