Replacements - S1-E4
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)
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)
Day of Days - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: When placing the German grenade into the barrel of the German, gun you can see the cord used to set timer is still attached. (00:36:40)
Suggested correction: The cord doesn't have to be fully removed for it to work so showing it like that is not a mistake. The grenade will smoke quite a bit if the primer is ignited so even if the cord isn't fully removed they'll know quickly enough the pull was hard enough to ignite it.
Day of Days - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Winters, just before the assault on the 88 Battery, holds up his hand to give a signal to the other members of the team. Camera cuts and he makes the signal again. (00:29:10)
Day of Days - S1-E2
Visible crew/equipment: Early on the camera pans from outside the aircraft into the jump door and looks at the men. When the camera moves in a shadow moves over the guy sat by the door. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: Winters is helping the men to their feet to board the plane. The first person he helps up is shown from the back, so we can't see who it is. The next shot shows that person boarding the plane as Winters helps others to their feet. The person in this shot is Joe Toye. Then the scene switches back to Winters helping up the rest of the men one by one, so we can see their faces. The third person we see in this progression is Joe Toye again. (01:04:23)
Day of Days - S1-E2
Character mistake: Winter calls his officer Major Strayers, when actually Strayers was a Lt Colonel. Winters made the same mistake in Currahee when walking upstairs with Capt Sobel.
Suggested correction: Strayer didn't become a Lt. Colonel until 1945. In fact, Winters took over leading 2nd battalion of the 506th from Major Strayer when he became a Major and Strayer was promoted to lead the regiment.
Continuity mistake: When Sobel yells at pvt. Christensen for drinking out of his canteen during the night march, Christensen's helmet is wet when they film from behind, when the camera switches to the front it is dry. (00:14:30)
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).
Day of Days - S1-E2
Factual error: The artillery cannons at Brecourt Manor are pointing south instead of north as they should be.
Other mistake: During the scene when the soldier who shot Sergeant Grant on the head was captured, Captain Speirs with a drawn M1911 pistol (hammer not cocked) is seen entering the building. In the interrogation room, it appeared that Capt. Speirs pulled back the slide of his pistol (this is after hitting the face of the captured soldier with his pistol). Speirs then aimed to shoot the captured soldier's head. Sergeant Perconte slowly stepped back (fearing he might be in the line of fire). Clearly it can be seen that the hammer is still not cocked. Then a sound of what appears to be a clicking (or unclicking) of the pistol's safety by Speirs.
