** Some footage from Odessa and Minsk during Operation Barbarossa (summer-winter 1941) got thrown in the Battle of Stalingrad (summer 1942-early 1943) chapter, which was not part of Barbarossa nor covered the same areas.

** The famous footage of a German Panther tank getting destroyed by American Shermans in Cologne in April 1945 is somehow attributed to the Battle of UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}}, in which no American ground troops even took part.

** Some footage from the ''Tag der deutschen Kunst'' ("Day of German Art") parades in UsefulNotes/{{Munich}} (which started in 1937) got thrown in the montage of parades that takes place at the Nuremberg Congress of 1934 right when the film starts. Specifically, it's the swastika parade floats surrounded by people dressed as priests with a swastika at the center of their robes (which undeniably gives off the vibe of a {{cult}}).

** The many German and Soviet army songs are quite catchy. The latter ones are those of the Red Army Choirs to GloriousMotherRussia effect, particularly the Russian "Partisans" one when the tide is turning in Stalingrad.

** The haunting soundtrack by Music/{{Vangelis}}, which gives WarIsHell a whole new meaning.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Public French TV producers were not very keen on producing and broadcasting such a documentary in France in the late 1980s. According to the film's narrator Philippe Meyer, their reactions varied from "People are not interested in World War II" to "it's too horrible/depressing for the general public on prime time schedules". The film turned out to have strong audience rates and was part of a wave of renewed interest among the French public in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust in TheEighties along with ''Film/{{Shoah}}'' and the highly publicized trial of [[UsefulNotes/TheGestapo Gestapo]] officer Klaus Barbie.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** Narrator Philippe Meyer states that at one point "UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler left the Olympic Stadium ''[during the 1936 UsefulNotes/OlympicGames]'' so he wouldn't have to shake the hand of Jesse Owens, a black man, after the latter's victory at the 100 metres." In reality, Hitler had a very tight schedule that day and had to leave the stadium, and he did not greet nor shake the hand of any athlete publicly, but he ''did'' greet and shake the hand of Owens for his victory personally. He did so off-camera at the stadium before leaving.
** Then he cites the fact that the German army reached Yasnaya Polyana, "the estate of Count Aleksey Tolstoy, author of ''Literature/WarAndPeace''" when invading USSR. It was Creator/LeoTolstoy (distant relative of Aleksey) who wrote ''War and Peace'', and Yasnaya Polyana belonged to him. Not only that, he also says that the distance between Moscow and Yasnaya Polyana is 22 kilometers. It is 200 kilometers actually.
