Two big errors I saw:

In 1941-42 MacArthur was commanding troops in the Philippines wearing M1 helmets, they should have been wearing M1917 helmets.

In another scene they had a modern US warship depicted as a WW2 cruiser.

Also laughable was the recreation of the Reich Chancellery in Berlin to make it look like a fancy office building in a modern business park.

They had MacArthur fleeing the Philippines in a B-17.

The story of his actual escape running the Japanese blockade in a PT boat is epic.

They might as well have thrown in some M60s and 551 Sheridan tanks for even more inaccuracies.

Until these threads, I didn’t know about this series. I’m no super expert either but I would be too annoyed with the problems to enjoy any good parts.

I used to be a hardcore history channel watcher until a few years ago.
