Replacements - S1-E4
Other mistake: When Heffron is taking his throw at darts, he states that he needs a "double seven". When he takes the throw, the dart goes into the treble eight (an earlier close-up confirms that the board has the standard Gamlin configuration), yet, from the reaction he gets, he's made the throw he was going for.

Factual error: Miller states he got a "Presidential Unit Citation" ribbon as part of the Normandy landings. However until Jan 1957, it was called a Distinguished Unit Citation. (00:07:30)

Continuity mistake: When the medic is shot while attending to Patton, he is shot in the left leg but holds his right leg while on the ground. (00:27:00)
Replacements - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: Just as the Tiger fires its second shot and hits the garage, look closely and you can see where the break in the wall is going to appear. (00:32:05)

Visible crew/equipment: When the damaged Sherman is from behind rolling forwards, two crew members can be seen guiding it in white T-shirts through the hedgerow. (00:33:20)
Replacements - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Just after the Sherman has knocked down the telephone pole we see two German guys up on a roof. In the long shot there is a bullet hole in the brickwork in front of them and in the close up it's gone. (00:34:30)

Revealing mistake: Just as the one soldier is sent flying over the wooden fence surrounding a building, you can see break away marks on the post where he will hit it. (00:34:40)
Replacements - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: We see Cobb firing over a small wall that is disintegrated by mortar fire. The camera does an instant cut and now Cobb is just hiding, not firing. (00:36:20)
Replacements - S1-E4
Visible crew/equipment: At the end, as they are moving out there is a high shot of two trucks driving towards the camera. The first truck reflects the camera shadow on the ground. (00:52:20)
Replacements - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: In the shot before Buck falls back he fires twice. The first time it's ok, the second time the cocking bolt on the side of his Thompson doesn't move.
Answer: That actually is the clip. It is loaded into the top of the rifle, and is ejected with the last round. See http://www.wwiitech.net/main/usa/weapons/m1/.
