Anecdotes
Robert Mitchum recalled that Richard Burton was drinking very heavily during filming and sometimes had to be carried onto the set.

Gaffes
They went to the trouble to get a lot of things right, from the German artillery pieces to the T-34 tanks. Even the German trucks are mostly right. They didn't necessarily do such a good job on the colors. That Kubelwagen in the dark-gray color scheme is anachronistic for the period. But then we come to the aircraft. I was taken aback to see U.S. Navy Corsairs dropping bombs on the Eastern Front. And what are all those Heinkel 111s doing in the air on D-Day?

Not bad but worse than expected

First of all, there is a major issue with this movie: captain (major) Stranski must have died at the end of part 1. At least everything refers to this fact. His weapon was out of ammo and some russians of the red army were just pointing guns at him. I don't believe they let him live. In fact I'm not sure if Steiner survived either. Next thing is the two main characters were replaced. If the roles of major Stranski and sergeant Steiner had been played by Maximilian Schell and James Coburn this movie could have been much much better. On behalf of Sam Peckinpah, I wouldn't have given permission to release this movie.
