Band of Brothers

The Breaking Point - S1-E7

Factual error: The "officer on horseback" shot by Cpl Hoobler has a shoulder board denoting a Wehrmacht Sergeant's rank, but a collar patch denoting an SS Over and an SS Obersturmfuhrer (lieutenant).

Carentan - S1-E3

Factual error: In this episode we see Blithe get shot in the neck and are told that he died in 1948. In reality he was shot in the shoulder and survived. He later served in Korea and was promoted to master sergeant as well as receiving the paratrooper of the year award. Blithe died in 1967 while on active duty in Germany.
