Quotes from
Sgt. Jim Larkin:
[after the squad is fired on by a German machine gun] You guys are covered here, but walk carefully beyond this point.
Pvt. Dave Corby: Walk? Are you out of your mind? I'm gonna dig a subway.
Homer: Why you no like Homer?

Facts about
Steve McQueen did not socialize with the rest of cast because his character was anti-social and alienated himself from the rest of the squad.
Screenwriter Robert Pirosh was originally set to direct the film but after repeated clashes with star Steve McQueen he was replaced with Don Siegel. Pirosh's script featured many blackly comedic scenes but most of them were not filmed, as Siegel wanted to make the film more dramatic. Disappointed, Bob Newhart tried to get Siegel to kill his character early, but Siegel refused.
The shoulder patch worn by most of the soldiers in the platoon is that of the 95th Infantry Division, a real-life military unit (nicknamed "Iron Men of Metz") that saw action in the European Theater during World War II. Today, the 95th Division is an Army Reserve unit headquartered at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
