** When William reaches the Allied lines, we see no sign of him being debriefed, his story being verified, or anyone attempting to contact his unit. Instead, he’s given a new uniform and joins the infantry for the attack on the German fortifications. Some of that stuff could have happened off-screen, but it all seems very casual.

** The actual battle for the Walcheren Causeway was almost nothing like what is shown here. While the Canadian Black Watch did mount a daytime attack with heavy losses straight down the causeway, the similarities end there. The Calgary Highlanders made two additional attacks, neither of which are depicted in the film, with massive artillery, mortar and machine gun support. The final attack by D Company on the morning of November 1st was done behind a creeping barrage. In the film events are compressed down to just one attack by the Canadians, and the final attack by British 52nd Lowland Division, which happened two days later.
** There is an amazing ability for soldiers to transfer themselves. Will the glider-borne soldier goes missing on Schoewen on September 17th, shows up with the Canadians on October 31st, and one of the Canadians (with no rank, mind you) tells him he'll get him a uniform. Next thing you know Will is in a full Canadian uniform taking part in the attack over the causeway, without as much as a word of protest. Real militaries just don't behave this way. To top it off, when the 52nd Lowland make their attack by boat, Will and a number of Canadians go with them.
** None of the infantry soldiers in the film know how to carry weapons as they were actually carried in 1944.
