Towards the end of film a Ju52 drops a single supply parachute. When dropped out of the plane and falling towards ground, it is green, when they recover it on the ground it is white. (In reality the Luftwaffe was first using white parachutes until they realized it is too difficult to spot white parachutes on the snowy ground.)

In the beginning of the movie an Italian women wears a bikini top in the period 1942/43. The bikini top was introduced in 1946 on the market.

In the pre-credits it says that the German 6th Army was, at the start of the of battle at Stalingrad, commanded by Generaloberst (Colonel General) Paulus. Paulus was however promoted to Generaloberst first on 30 November 1942.

In a field hospital, a man is having his leg amputated without anaesthetic. Presumably, they ran out of anaesthesia, but even so, they would have put a piece of leather between his teeth to bite down upon and prevent him from biting his tongue off.

During the factory battle, the engineers place and light a demolition charge, but the fuse never actually lights.

When a German soldier shoots his friend by accident, the viewer can see the dead soldier's eyelids are moving several times.

After the factory battle, some of the supposedly dead soldiers move. Even if a few of them may have been wounded only, one extra clearly lifts his head prematurely.

The Stiel hand grenades carried by German soldiers throughout the urban assault are clearly made out of rubber.

When the German soldier in a trench fires his MP-40 up at the T-34 about to run him over, the bullet puffs appear in the snow next to it as though the gun is fired from an elevation above the tank.

Soldiers can be seen cycling the bolts of their rifles before firing. Cycling the bolt of a bolt-action rifle always ejects whatever is in the chamber, so soldiers don't cycle them before firing. It is also clear that the rifles are empty, since nothing ejects.

During the tank battle, the Soviets are using T-34-85 tanks. The Battle took place from 1942-1943, the T-34-85 did not see service until late 1943/early 1944. The correct model for the time would be the T-34-76.

Early on while the soldiers are playing cards in the train one of them has a tattoo of the emblem of the German football club FC Schalke 04 on his upper arm. This version of the emblem has not been introduced by the club until 1956.

Electrical modern train.

At the beginning of the movie "Porto Cervo" is indicated as the location where the German army is located. But the city is clearly Cervo, in Liguria. Porto Cervo is in Sardinia.
