* TanksButNoTanks: The 1st Hussars were equipped with Shermans, but they were [=M4A4s=], the workhorse of Commonwealth forces, not [=M4A3E8s=] depicted here, which were never converted to Duplex Drive (US forces on Omaha and Utah were equipped with [=M4A2=] converted [=DDs=]). There's also the fact that DD Shermans were steered with an externally mounted tiller and not from the inside.

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: Averted. In RealLife, Sgt. Léo Gariepy, after five tanks from his squadron were knocked out by an 88, disabled the 88, then stopped beside it and gunned down its entire fourteen man crew cowering in a trench. This is left out of the movie.

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Mainly due to RuleOfDrama, a lot is altered to tell the story. For one, fourteen of the 19 tanks landed, and had a shootout with the 88 at 200 yards. A 75 was on the right flank, and [[ATeamFiring fired over 200 rounds]] before being knocked out. No tanks were lost in the fight. After breaking out from the beach, Gariepy, as detailed above, gunned down the 14 man crew of an 88, before being radio'd that a sniper was targeting Canadian tank commanders and had killed a friend. He put his beret on top of his headset as bait, then bore down in on the position, rather than simply being shot at, and his crew convinced him firing at it was not the best idea, rather than overtly disobeying an order. There was an elderly couple inside, rather than a young mother with infant child walking outside.

* Irony: Though not shown, the major that tells Sgt. Gariepy that they wouldn't be launching due to the rough weather and most troopers not being able to swim, drowned when his tank went under.
