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'."

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.

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.
