* ForegoneConclusion: The historically savvy viewer (or GenreSavvy one for that matter) will already be aware that the optimistic estimates for the level of resistance and likelihood of success for Operation Market Garden will not come to pass.

* HopeSpot: Nixon's intelligence briefing to the men at the beginning notes that the planners anticipate that the Germans have only inexperienced or infirm soldiers guarding the allied objectives in Holland and that, if the operation is successful, it'll enable them to airdrop directly into Germany and hopefully end the war by Christmas. Things don't turn out that way.

** It was a minor plot point that several of the men, including Winters, lost their weapons and supplies during the Normandy jump in "Day of Days". In this episode, one of the recommendations that the experienced paratroopers give to the replacements is to keep their weapons at the ready when jumping so that they can keep track of them and be ready to use them immediately when they land.

** In the opening scene at the pub, Lt. Compton is seen playing darts with some of the soldiers. The subject of a wager over a bullseye comes up, and Compton -- clearly recalling the dressing down he received from Winters in "Curahee" about putting himself in a position where he can take from his soldiers -- is noticeably wary and hesitant. He eventually relents when cigarettes are suggested to be the stake, as these are something which are desired and have some value to the men, but which unlike money are unlikely to result in any significant resentment or tension if they're lost.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Cobb chews out the replacements for wearing a unit citation that was awarded for the jump into Normandy (which they didn't participate in). He didn't participate in the jump, either – but in his case, it was because he was hit by artillery in the plane and became too wounded to do so.
** And at any rate, Cobb’s gripe about the replacements wearing the unit award is entirely baseless: Soldiers wear all of a unit’s historical decorations while assigned to that unit, even if the award is for something that occurred prior to that Soldier joining the unit, but do not get to continue to wear them after being reassigned. If a Soldier is part of a unit during the action for which the unit receives an award, then they may wear the unit decoration permanently. So he’s not only a hypocrite, he’s also wrong.
