Id say the fact that there were Germans and Americans, and that d-day was june 6. I mean, look at the part where the guy is shot because he thinks he hears the cricket, when its really the bolt of a K98. No rifle is supposed to be that loud, or it will really give your position away. But hey, its more historically accurate than SPR oOo:

the battles (places, people, what went down, etc) are accurate, certain individuals' actions are not (as someone mentioned with the cricket, the thing where the krauts say "bitte bitte" and the Ranger guns them, etc.)
