    CORRECTIONS:
    The M1 Garand displayed in Operation Torch was animated to have a bolt-action, rather than being the semi-automatic action it is truly known for.
    The U.S Paratrooper during Bastogne was wearing incorrect footwear; although this happened as Paratroopers began to obtain "regular" equipment and clothing as their wore out (HBO's miniseries "Band of Brothers" displays this well), it would have been far more common to see the famed Cocoran jump boots than the gaiters worn in the video.
    While this was primarily an Army video, we felt the need to include a small mention of what the U.S Marine Corps did during World War II. Although they were a sizable force, in reality, they did not do the fighting alone as the USMC was given credit for.
    The Stinger was incorrectly noted as being based on an aircraft variant of the M2 Browning (.50) when in reality it was the M1919 (.30) specifically. With this, the aircraft variant "AN/M2" referred to three machine guns with different ammunition. The M1919 and M2 also shared design similarities that caused some confusion.

    The only major issue I could find was the 1898 pattern soldier wielding the 1873 pattern musket. These were way obsolete by the end of the century, having been replaced by the Krag rifle in mainline US service.
    Slight correction: Springfields were still issued to volunteer units/National Guard who didn’t see as much mainline combat, hence why they weren’t equipped with the latest weaponry
