In Season 1, How Do You Trust, the Inspector Colonel's car has 1940 license plates, but the battle for Stalingrad (1942-43) is waging, according to episode dialogue.
Later in the episode, another character's car is fitted with the same license plate - same # and year.
Just started watching this series and hope it's accuracy improves.
That's more of a technical goof I'd say. My main beef is with the language. Most of the time it sounds like the way I think they spoke in the 40's but I do wonder if they really said things like "head in the game" "life skills" or "stand down" back then. I know those were not expressions used in the 70's or 80's even. Pretty sketchy if you ask me.

Work hard, keep your head in the game, and if someone gets in your way, tell them you don't give a damn!
— Theodore Roosevelt
Stand down:
It originated as a legal term to step down from the witness stand and occurred in a different sense in 18th century naval terminology, but in military terminology the earliest references are from Trench Warfare during the First World War- "Stand to" and "Stand Down." It appears to have originated with Canadian troops about 1916 though possibly earlier. It later became a slang term to back down from an alert or from a firing position.
But maybe if you can't spell "its" then you shouldn't complain.
shareThat seems more like a minor goof rather than historical inaccuracy. There isn't a series where you can't find a ton of goofs.
