Starring: Michael Kitchen, Anthony Howell, Honeysuckle Weeks
Factual error: The American flag shown has 50 stars, not the 48 stars that were on the flag at that time.
Factual error: SS officers did not carry a unit identification tattoo on the forearm, as implied in this episode. Most (but not all) carried a small, black, blood group tattoo under the armpit.
Factual error: Sunflowers are not grown in the North of France. They're grown primarily in Provence and Poitou.
Factual error: The naval captain in this episode has a military mustache as prescribed by army regulations. The Royal Navy regulations, however, prohibited separate mustaches and beards - if facial hair was worn, a "full set" of beard and mustache with the beard joined to the mustache was mandatory, and that to be grown to the commanding officer's satisfaction within six weeks.
DCS Christopher Foyle: The uniform suits you.
Andrew Foyle: Thanks. I wish I could say the same about your dressing gown.
Trivia: The fuel station features metal miniblinds in several scenes. These did not become available until the early 1940s and would aluminium be diverted from airplane production to blinds?
