Finest Hour is one of many Call of Duty games that was claimed by its developers to be Historically "authentic" and it is often perceived this way by players. This video dispels that view by correcting everyone of the games' many errors for the sake of education.

____ Corrections/Clarifications ____
1:00:33 - I overlooked that the Bren MKII has a bolt hold-open device, meaning that it does not need to be manually cocked when empty.
1:37:13 - Turns out that this is actually meant to be a BG-150 accessory bag for the BC-1000 radio (SCR 300).

____ Additional Inaccuracies ____
0:08:42 - Tanya is not a formal Russian name but rather a diminutive. Her actual full first name would be Tatyana yet she is never referred to as this in-game.
0:15:58 - The Russian word for office, "офис", is anachronistic. It is an anglicism popularized after the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s. The period-correct word would be "контора" or "управление".
1:37:48 - Saying "repeat" on the radio is a common Hollywood error for radio use. Realistically, a soldier would have to say, "I say again" as "repeat" means "repeat last instructions" and is primarily reserved for artillery fire missions.
1:41:24 - In the final seconds of the level “Last Bridge Standing”, an extremely out of place Soviet T-34 tank very briefly appears at the Ludendorff Bridge.

Enemy at the Gates caused irreparable damage to the perception of the Eastern Front.

Red army in Stalingrad had one rifle per 3 people... because other two had ppsh

I think if I drank every time the "Enemy At the Gate" was mentioned, I wouldn't have lived to see the segment about the rest of the Allied countries

@Wirbelwind-e4z 3 months ago

Enemy at the Gates has completely ruined how people view the Eastern Front

@tsardean7438 3 months ago

Enemy at the gates and it’s consequences has been a disaster for the human race

You know it's going to be a field day for Frosty when there are already 100 innacuracies within half an hour

@notabomination4799 3 months ago (edited)

I began seeing a pattern with these innacuracies
if in the real life event soldiers were armed to the teeth, the game/movie always shows them being dirt poor

Gamedevs: " we excessively research the topic to be able to deliver the most accurate representation "
also gamedevs: watches a single hollywood movie

That speech by the Commissar on the boat is one of the greatest moments in all of Call of Duty and probably so few fans actually know about it

COD Finest Hour: Yes we did watch Enemy at the Gates, why do you ask?

@cruzmagallanes6914 3 months ago

Fun fact, the developers of the united front mods it’s actually thinking about remaking all of finest hour campaign in to cod 1 and united offensive once 2.0 is released

A Soviet person dreaming of "opening his own shop" in the midst of the 1930s is an inaccuracy in its own right

Time for Saving Private Ryan to get the slander it deserves.

1:37:48 Missed inaccuracy: Saying "repeat" on the radio is a common Hollywood error for radio use. Realistically, a soldier would have to say, "I say again" as "repeat" means "repeat last instructions" and is primarily reserved for artillery fire missions.
