Trivia

At one point, there is an exchange to the effect of: "You're never gonna make it to Corporal." "I just want to make it to civilian." This dialogue is taken almost verbatim from the WWII film A Walk in the Sun (1945).

The boots worn in the movie have modern rubber soled treads. This may be seen several times throughout the movie, both on killed and prone soldiers.

A cameraman can be seen on the right of the screen for a second when four troops are about to destroy the German machine guns on the hill, about 20 minutes after the beginning of the movie.

Private Krotoshinsky mentions how he "took the test", became an American and volunteered for military service. The real Abraham Krotoshinsky immigrated to the U.S. in 1912, worked as a barber until the outbreak of war, and did not become a citizen until after the war. Additionally he was one of the soldiers in Co K, 307th Infantry, not a replacement for the 308th.
