MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: In "The Breaking Point," when Nixon is talking to Winters about someone being sent home to the states, the shaving cream by Winters' left ear changes from a lot to a little and back when the shot changes.
FACT: During scene's 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.
