The LCM-8 landing craft in the film was manufactured only in 1954.
In the film, the German general has a line: "We have strong radar interference." The word radar was not used at the time, and even in 1944 the Germans didn't even know the word.
It can be found that the Messerschmitt fighter in the film is a Bf-108 "Typhoon" liaison and reconnaissance aircraft that is not equipped with a weapon system.
Most U.S. soldiers with Thompson submachine guns are carrying M1 rifle bullet bags.

    D-Day D-Day. The longest day was a turning point in the course of history. The filming is quite generally more like a foreign version of the founding of a country. It's not bad to recruit a group of stars to join Britain, the United States, France and Germany to see the actors.
