Visible crew/equipment: When the 20th Maine Regiment is getting ready to charge down the hill, on the left you can see a man in a light blue shirt sitting with a camera pointed at the soldiers. (02:14:40)
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene near the beginning of the film, when the 2 brothers are fixing to leave to join the army. After the mother gives them the flag, the shot changes to the 2 brothers. You can see the boom mic and the camera in the reflection of their shiny brass buckles.
Other mistake: In the battle for Fredricksburg you can see streaks in the sky from jets.
General Robert E. Lee: He's lost his left arm. I've lost my right.
Trivia: General Robert E. Lee was shown throughout the movie as wearing the three star insignia of a Colonel, rather than the three stars surrounded by a wreath as was the proper insignia for all Confederate generals. General Lee actually wore this throughout most if not all of the war, and this is accurate.
