There is a hidden unit in the game files, known as an Eselschreck. The unit is a man riding a donkey, armed with two Panzershrecks and two Stuka rockets, and is only accessible by modding the game.

Company of Heroes was originally named "Brothers in Arms" during development.
Despite THQ later releasing a game under that name, the legal team at Relic Entertainment decided against it because it was too similar to Brotherhood of Arms, a previously released game.

The title of the game seems to be a reference to a letter written by Mike Ranney, a Sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division during WW2, in which he writes;
"I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' I said 'No...but I served in a company of heroes'."
