Episode Quotes |
| |
Welch: I want light and noise discipline from now on. No talking, no smoking, and no playing grab-the-fanny with the man in front of you, Luz
| Ronald Speirs: We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. But Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends on it.

Episode Goofs |
| |
The episode shows that Albert Blithe was shot in the neck by a sniper, and the credits information states that he died of his wounds in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1948. Fellow Easy Company soldiers had believed this to be true. After the mini-series was broadcast, relatives of Albert Blithe came forward with information and documentation that Blithe was wounded in the right shoulder, recovered from his wounds, attended the 1st Annual Reunion of the 101st Airborne Division Association, and subsequently went on to have an outstanding Army career (including over 600 parachute jumps and a MAAG assignment in Taiwan). Blithe actually died in 1967 while on active duty in Germany, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.
| When the troops enter the city of Carentan, they're being attacked by a German M42 from a window and so they fire back. During this exchange, bullet-holes appear and disappear on the advertisement-sign attached to the house.
