Defiance - Wrong Medicine
In the scene where Tuvia and Zus raid a German encampment to get medicine for some sick refugees they state they need Ampicillin for a typhus outbreak.
Ampicillin was not available until 1961 when it was synthesized by Merck - and it's precursor Penicillin was not freely available, until just before the Normandy landings 1944, to the US army.
I doubt the Germans had access to any of this during WWII. It would have been less glaring if they went to steal sulfa!

That proves that Hollywood isn't interested in historical or medical accuracy. It makes me wonder how many other mistakes are in these movies that are "based on a true story".
