In the early part of the movie, a British Soldier is seen hiding behind a tree while under fire from a German not so far from him, but on the other side of the tree. The viewer can see the the bullets striking the tree trunk above his head, as if the German was now in front of him.
In one scene, combatants are seen hiding behind a genuine German car called a "Kübelwagen". This vehicle is likened to a "mini-moke". It's panels are made of thin aluminium, and yet, somehow the bullets ricochet off the thin alunimium panels.

Like so many other B Grade war movies, no expelled shells can be seen ejected from the automatic guns and rifles.
