Trivia
The artillery shelling that Easy Company endured in this episode included air bursts in the trees. The special effects to make this realistic were quite complicated and were detailed in a complete article about the series in TV Guide at the time of its original airing.

Goofs
During scenes with Dick Winters, he is seen sitting under a canopy and surrounded by sandbags. The truth is there were no sandbags and canopies in Bastogne. He was dug in and sleeping in foxholes like the rest of the 101st Airborne. (He is actually in a bombed out structure, and what appear to be sandbags are the stones of the walls.)

Quotes
C. Carwood Lipton: [Voiceover, during Speirs' rush across enemy lines in Foy] At first the Germans didn't shoot at him. I think they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing. But that wasn't the really astounding thing. The astounding thing was, after he hooked up with I Company, he came back.
