Currahee - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Sobel is being tricked out in the field about cutting the fence, his wet helmet reflects what seems to be a camera or filming equipment that is not visible in the wide shots. (00:38:05)

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)

Replacements - S1-E4

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

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)

Ssiscool ★

The Patrol - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When The Patrol is on its way, one of the boats tilts over and some soldiers are screaming they can't swim. At some point during that scene there is a wide shot with in the background the other side and a skylight. Right in the middle of that shot on the other side you can see a man walking away wearing a orange vest or jacket of some sorts. Might be the pyro-guy. (00:33:15)

Mistakes

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.

Questions

Crossroads - S1-E5

Question: How exactly do the M1 Garands work? I noticed that after the clip is emptied a metal type plate comes out the top of the rifle, what is that?

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/.
