Factual error: In the scenes of Ian Fleming in the Naval Intelligence HQ, there is a map of Scandinavia on the wall. The map already has the post-war borders of Finland on it.
Factual error: During the assault on the radar station, the commandos seize a German machine gun and employ it effectively. The movie takes place in 1940, yet the machine gun is an MG42, which was not issued until 1942.
Suggested correction: It was an MG34, not an MG42.
Factual error: The SS commander wears the collar patch of a Hauptsturmführer (captain), but the epaulettes of an Unterscharführer (corporal).
Factual error: Flight Sergeant Rollright wears the three chevrons of a sergeant, rather than the three chevrons and a crown of a flight sergeant.
Factual error: Ian Fleming wears First World War service ribbons. Fleming was ten at the end of the First World War.
