don't EVEN bring up Saving Private Ryan, don't get me wrong, it's my favourite movie... but... i can't even count the mistakes on my fingers and toes.

" dont care if your a seal, people dont just pick up grenades and throw them back out a window casually, thats just dumb"

wrong. there are MANY accounts of it happening. German grenades- "potato mashers" were infamous for well.. sucking.

"if you pay attension you can clearly see that the german soldier just stands there with a pistol in his hand and lets himself get killed"

no, he is pulling out his pistol, or getting it loaded or it's jammed or something. he IS doing something.

"A WSS soldier would probably have reacted as you describe, but most of the Infantry in Normandy were non-German conscripts and POW's; Poles, Russians, French, there were even 6 Koreans captured on Omaha"

green units wouldn't be fighting side by side with a Tiger and a Marders to take an "extremely important bridge."

Hmm, i'll also bring up the fact that the Captain was carrying a thompson, and the sarge had the Carbine. it should be vice-versa.

There was a problem with jackson's windage corrections, but i don't recall what it was.

That 20mm flak is a false gun. it's based on several real guns, but that thing isn't a real model.

The Tiger was a poor mock-up of a tiger.

infact, the tiger itself was just a problem. it seems like they just let Hans Nobody lead that battlegroup. Strategy way wrong.

P51s on an incorrect strafing pattern, they would strafe horizontally. they came from behind the friendly units. not a good idea. as well, no bomb racks.

I believe jackson fires a few too many rounds when taking out the sniper in the bell tower.

Mg34s labeled as MG42s. one is heard, but never seen.

The sticky bomb disaster.... dude, that shit is HIGH powered explosive. when that unfortunate fella held onto for too long, there was a little puff of smoke and some chunks. that part really bothered be because it appeared to be gore for gore's sake. if it's gonna be gory, at least do it right.

i can keep going....
