Major Kiefer explains that German U-Boats (submarines) attacked the American task force conducting "Exercise Tiger" aka "Operation Tiger". In actual fact it was German S-Boots (Schnellboote, English translation, "fast boat" - functionally similar to American PT-Boats) that attacked the exercise group. (S-Boote were designation "E-Boats" - enemy boats by the British).

Sam considers the possibility of 'going back to Leominster' (pronounced Lemster) at the end of the war. However in earlier films she tells us she is from Lyminster (pronounced as written).
