Trivia[]

  • Historical Inaccuracy: During the Hessians' Christmas celebration in Trenton, soldiers are seen dancing to "Silent Night". The carol was written in 1818, over 40 years after the events surrounding the Battle of Trenton.
    • The Hessian soldiers are also seen getting drunk on beer during the festivities. Patriot John Greenwood, who fought in the Battle of Trenton and supervised Hessians afterward wrote, "I am certain not a drop of liquor was drunk during the whole night, nor, as I could see, even a piece of bread eaten."
  • Unlike almost every other "Exciting Scenes" preview sequence at the beginning of each episode, no scenes from "Across the Delaware" are featured for this episode, possibly to hide any spoilers regarding the American victories at both Trenton and Princeton.
  • Although not shown, Colonel Johann Rall would die from the injuries he sustained before surrendering to Washington.
    • Historical Inaccuracy: The note found in Colonel Rall's coat pocket was actually found after his death, not before.
