When they are in Hogan's office and talking about Crandall, Newkirk eats a cookie. One second later he didn't have it anymore, but Carter now eats one.
During Hogan's conversation with Schultz about where the plant is and what it manufactures, Hogan is holding Newkirk's cap with candy. There are six cuts (seven segments) as the view switches from side to side. When Newkirk hands the cap to Hogan, the view is from Schultz's right side, looking toward Hogan. At this point, the buttons on Newkirk's cap are on the end nearest to Schultz. At the cut to showing Schultz from Hogan's left side, the cap has flipped, and the buttons on the cap are now away from Schultz. When the view cuts back to the other side (from Schultz), the cap has switched back to being oriented with the buttons toward Schultz. The cap retains this orientation through the end of the conversation.
John Stephenson plays Major Kohler who is a Wehrmacht (army) officer, yet his uniform cap has a "flying" eagle used by the Luftwaffe (air force).
Major Kohler reports that "British Bomber Command" ordered the air strike on the fake rocket factory as part of General Burkhalter's sting operation to plug the information leak. However, the bombers shown making the raid (in archival footage) are American B-17F Flying Fortresses and would have been commanded by the US Eighth Air Force, not RAF Bomber Command.
All are asleep. However, the barrack's lights were ON.
Carter sees "Sam Melville" character "Lieutenant James Crandall" (aka, " Schmidt") leave the barracks. Klink and Schultz had been always sticklers for the lights in the barracks being OFF at night.
Past episodes have shown the dark barracks where viewers could not read, identify faces. This episode, there was little difference between lights ON and lights OFF.
Lights should have been OFF, but are left ON in the barracks.

Germany's migratory birds gather in Fall for their trip
to Spain, Western Europe and tropical areas of Africa.
It is rarely Spring or Summer at Stalag 13. Ice and Snow on the barrack roofs, ground and on all windows are indicative of Winter. This is the case in this episode. By Winter, the trees are devoid of chirping birds which are in warmer regions with a steady food supply.
As General Burkhalter talks with Major Kohler outside Klink's Office, bird's are heard chirping as if in an aviary, or perhaps under the eaves of the buildings. There are no trees in the camp. All the trees are off in the distance - out of boom mic reach.

In the introduction, an RAF lieutenant (escapee) is seen throwing a dart at a picture of Hitler. Aside from the fact that the prisoners would not have been given anything sharp for recreation equipment, the blue dart he is shown throwing is a 1960s-vintage plastic-body dart.
Update: Considering all the equipment the gang has smuggled into Stalag 13, bringing a dart or two into camp would be child's play, so it would be unnecessary for them to be provided by the Germans.

When Hogan and the gang learn that there is a spy in London, Hogan tells Kinchloe to notify London (about the spy is assumed) and stops transmitting for a while as a precaution. The problem with notifying London in this manner is that Hogan has no way of knowing whether the spy is in the direct communication channel to headquarters (meaning the spy would realize he had been discovered, and return to Germany to avoid capture). Yet two days later, Hogan tells Kinchloe to contact London and have them drop Kohler's name to the spy. There was never any indication that Hogan knew that the spy had been identified. And even if the spy had been identified, London would not have allowed the spy to continue operating. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the spy would still be available to pass Kohler's name back to Berlin.
When Crandall/Schmidt arrives at camp, Klink comes out to receive him. Since he had just been relieved of command (and Kohler replaced him), it should have been Kohler that came out to receive the new prisoner, with Klink there only as an advisor.
