Other mistake: As Kirk and party duel against the Klingons, there's a heavy-looking round conduit on the wall right before the turbolift door that gets knocked down so it stands as a big flower pot. A moment later, it's back in position.

Continuity mistake: When the "evil" Kirk appears, the Enterprise emblem is missing from his shirt. Then later, when he gets the brandy, the insignia is there. (00:04:45 - 00:06:20)
Suggested correction: When Kirk and Sulu are on the planet, they're shown not wearing the insignia. When "good" Kirk beams up, he too doesn't have the insignia. We just don't know where it came from, it could have been in their pocket.
The insignia is not removable, it's permanently attached. They wouldn't be able to remove it. The idea of a removable insignia wasn't introduced until STTNG.
While it might have been sewn on for production purposes, I saw this episode as indicating it was removable given the fact that they weren't wearing one on the planet. Plus, there have been other officers whose insignia is not sewn on in TOS.

Trivia: When Kirk is donning the Gestapo uniform, Spock says, "You should make a very convincing Nazi." Although the look Kirk gives him is funny, it should be remembered that both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were both Jewish.
