Well Tarantino does use the difference between how the Americans show numbers on their fingers vs how Germans do in the movie as a sign of them not being true German officers, and it gets them killed. So he early cares to some extent and makes an effort so maybe that's why this guy cares.

Oh yeah, I remember that now. It’s been a minute since I watched it. So that’s what OP was asking about? Tarantino does care about his craft, but that’s a little different than caring about other peoples inaccuracies in movie-making.

I’m not really concerned with inaccuracies, other than wondering if what looked to me like an inaccuracy actually was my misunderstanding of history, which turned out to be the case. It’s fun to question what we know and learn from it. Knowing it was Tarantino I immediately thought “does he know something I don’t?” And that turned out to be the case. Not at all a “gotcha” type of thing
