1943-03-12

Barnes first deployed in Europe



(The Winter Soldier)

1943-06-14

Rogers attempts to enlist for the fifth time



(The First Avenger)

[ANACHRONISMS: A presidential executive order ended voluntary enlistment in the United States on December 5, 1942. One newspaper in the recruiting office mentions a ship being sunk off the Virginia coast although U-boats were only active in the region from January to August 1942. Another newspaper mentions the Nazis retaking Zhitomir, which happened in November 1943. A third newspaper mentions elite Nazi forces overrunning a Norwegian town, presumably referencing the attack on Tønsberg in March 1943.]

(Phase One Box Set)

1943-06-15

Barnes ships out to England

“Shipping out for England first thing tomorrow.”

(Barnes, The First Avenger)

[Barnes says this to Rogers after looking at his 4F-stamped rejection notice dated 14 June, 1943. For more on how Barnes may have come to be a sergeant by this point see this post.]

1943-06-22

Rogers receives Super Soldier Serum, pursues HYDRA agent through Brooklyn



(The First Avenger)

[Presumably the newspaper was printed the day after this happened.]

Last entry in SSR’s file on Captain America



(Phase One Box Set)

1943-xx-xx

Schmidt’s forces clash with Allies in Azzano, Italy; members of the 107th are captured

“Schmidt sent out a force to Azzano… two hundred men went up against him, and less than fifty returned.”

(Carter, The First Avenger)

[Carter says this to Rogers just after his USO performance in Italy, as they watch wounded coming back from this skirmish — so presumably the skirmish happened not long before Rogers’ performance.]

(Carter, The First Avenger) [Carter says this to Rogers just after his USO performance in Italy, as they watch wounded coming back from this skirmish — so presumably the skirmish happened not long before Rogers’ performance.] “Bucky’s whole unit was captured in ‘43…”

(Rogers, The Winter Soldier)

1943-11-03

Rogers performs with USO in Italy, then goes after the remnants of the 107th in Austria



(The First Avenger)

(The First Avenger) “What do you plan to do, walk to Austria?”

(Carter, The First Avenger)

[ANACHRONISM: Allied forces were nowhere near the Italian/Austrian border in November 1943, and did not reach it until May 1945.]

(Carter, The First Avenger) [ANACHRONISM: Allied forces were nowhere near the Italian/Austrian border in November 1943, and did not reach it until May 1945.] “I regret to report that Captain Steven G. Rogers went missing behind enemy lines on the… 3rd.”

(Phillips, The First Avenger)

1943-11-xx

Rogers rescues prisoners from HYDRA, returns to Italy

“You saved nearly four hundred men.”

(Lorraine, The First Avenger)

(Lorraine, The First Avenger)

(The Winter Soldier)

1943-11-xx

Rogers forms the Howling Commandos

[Note that the scene with Lorraine happens after Rogers forms the Howling Commandos. Rogers’ rescue mission is still in the news so presumably not much time has passed.]

[ANACHRONISM: The Captain America Tour poster lists visits to Allied bases in North Africa, however Axis forces surrendered in Africa in May 1943, before Rogers was accepted into the Army.]

1944-xx-xx

Fennhoff/Ivchenko recruited into Leviathan



(Agent Carter 1x06)

1944-xx-xx

Barnes presumed killed in action



(The Winter Soldier)

[However note that this is inconsistent with the timeline of The First Avenger, and the Smithsonian exhibit contradicts itself (giving two different dates for Barnes’ birth) so may be unreliable.]

1944-xx-xx

The Obelisk is catalogued as object 084 by S.H.I.E.L.D.



(Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x01)

[Note that this contradicts all other evidence placing the seizure of the Obelisk in 1945, after Red Skull’s death]

1944-xx-xx

Battle (massacre) of Finow, Germany

“Leet Brannis died.”

“I know that, son. I’m staring at his corpse.”

“Two years ago. Guy I knew in basic ended up in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. I had him dig into the 478th. Turns out, they were wiped out in ’44 in the battle of Finow, Germany.”

(Thompson and Dooley, Agent Carter 1x03)

1944-xx-xx

Howard Stark arrives at Finow



(Agent Carter 1x04)

(Agent Carter 1x04) “Log at the Finow airfield. One day after our supposed battle, a plane lands. Guess who’s on it?

“I dunno, Bob Hope?”

“Howard Stark.”

(Thompson and Dooley, Agent Carter 1x04)

(Thompson and Dooley, Agent Carter 1x04) “I didn’t say anything at the time, but Mr Stark did visit Finow in 1944.”

(Jarvis, Agent Carter 1x06)

1945-xx-xx

Phillips questions Zola in London

“I may not be the man I was when the Captain took me prisoner in 1945…”

(Zola, The Winter Soldier)

[ANACHRONISM: The Daily Mail headlines outside where Zola is questioned declare “London Burning” but this would not have happened at such a late stage in the war.]

1945-03-04

Schmidt prepares to launch the Valkyrie

“Tomorrow, HYDRA will stand master of the world…”

(Schmidt, The First Avenger)

Carter finds Rogers mourning Barnes’ death; escorts him to Phillips’ briefing about the Valkyrie

“How much time we got?”

“According to my new best friend, under 24 hours.”

(Jones and Phillips, The First Avenger)

[Note that the sequence of events here implies that Zola’s questioning and Phillips’ subsequent briefing all happen within a short span of time after Barnes’ fall, while Rogers is clearly still mourning his recent loss. With Rogers’ disappearance confirmed for 5 March 1945 this implies that Barnes went missing in 1945, rather than in 1944 as the Smithsonian exhibit — which also contradicts itself on Barnes’ birth year — says.]

1945-03-05

Rogers’ mission to stop the Valkyrie ends with his disappearance



(The Winter Soldier)

[Actual date of disappearance could have been on the 4th or 5th, depending what time of day it happened in Europe and whether the news made it to the USA in time to print the same day.]

[For interest, Rogers’ disappearance happens a few months before his 27th birthday.]

1945-03-xx

Barnes found by Soviet troops

[When found, Barnes is still bleeding and wearing the same clothes as when he fell from the train. His two captors are wearing Soviet-style uniforms.]

1945-03-23

File on Barnes is opened in Russian



(The Winter Soldier)

[See here for transcription and translation.]

1945-xx-xx

Reinhardt/Whitehall investigates the effects of the Obelisk, discovers Jiaying’s gift

“Herr Doctor Reinhardt, Red Skull has fallen. He’s dead. The Allies approach.”

(HYDRA agent, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x08)

[That is, this scene happens after the events of The First Avenger, but before Carter and the Howling Commandos take Reinhardt/Whitehall’s stronghold.]

1945-xx-xx

Carter and the Howling Commandos take Reinhardt/Whitehall’s stronghold, seize the Obelisk



(Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x01)

(Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x01) “No reason left to fear the Red Skull. He’s dead!”

(Reinhardt/Whitehall, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x01)

[That is, this must happen after the events of The First Avenger]

1945-xx-xx

HYDRA is believed defeated by the SSR

“This is the last HYDRA site we know of. They’re finally beaten.”

(Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x01)

1945-xx-xx

Carter condemns Reinhardt/Whitehall to life in prison



(Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 2x08)

1945-05-01

(Thompson, Agent Carter 1x05)

1945-05-08

Germany signs act of military surrender (VE Day)

1945-08-14

Zola recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.



(The Winter Soldier)

[In August 1945 over a hundred German scientists were offered contracts under Operation Paperclip. See also: Further discussion.]

(The Winter Soldier) [In August 1945 over a hundred German scientists were offered contracts under Operation Paperclip. See also: Further discussion.] “After World War II S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited German scientists with strategic value.”

(Romanoff, The Winter Soldier)

(Romanoff, The Winter Soldier) “After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded and I was recruited.”

(Zola, The Winter Soldier)

[Appears to contradict evidence which shows Zola imprisoned with Fennhoff/Ivchenko in 1946. Zola specifically mentions being recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. which contradicts other evidence that S.H.I.E.L.D. was formed by Howard Stark and Carter no earlier than 1946.]

1945-08-09

Carter turns 26 years and 4 months old



(Agent Carter 1x05)

[Carter’s SSR medical exam must occur within one month of this date.]

1945-08-15

Emperor Hirohito announces Japan’s surrender

1945-12-xx

Carter begins working under Flynn

“It’s been three months now, and I’ve yet to be sent on my first assignment.”

(Carter, Agent Carter One-Shot)

[That is, Carter started working for Flynn three months before the events of the Agent Carter One-Shot.]

1946-03-14

Carter analyses transmissions for S.H.I.E.L.D.



(Agent Carter One-Shot)

(Agent Carter One-Shot) “We’re gonna need a full analysis on all recent transmissions, by tomorrow evening at the latest.”

“How about yesterday?”

(SSR agent and Carter, Agent Carter One-Shot)

(SSR agent and Carter, Agent Carter One-Shot)

(Agent Carter One-Shot)

[That is, the Agent Carter One-Shot takes place one year after Rogers’ disappearance in March 1945.]

[Note that the Agent Carter One-Shot ends with Howard Stark proposing the formation of S.H.I.E.L.D. This contradicts the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. does not yet exist during the events of Agent Carter season 1, which are dated after this event.]

1946-04-21

Carter reminisces about the past



(Agent Carter 1x01)

(Agent Carter 1x01)

(Agent Carter 1x01)

[Note that Carter’s flashback memories in this scene include events from the Agent Carter One-Shot, which imply Agent Carter 1x01 must occur after the Agent Carter One-Shot.]

1946-xx-xx

Spider Raymond runs La Martinique



(Agent Carter 1x01)

1946-04-xx

Carter attacked in her home; O’Brien killed



(Agent Carter 1x01)

[Contradicts evidence that the SSR began pursuing Howard Stark in June 1946, and that O’Brien’s death must occur no earlier than May 1946.]

1946-xx-xx

Carter and Jarvis consult Anton Vanko



(Agent Carter 1x01)

(Agent Carter 1x01) “Dr Vanko, what do we have here?”

(Jarvis, Agent Carter 1x01)

[Contradicts evidence from Iron Man 2 which says Anton Vanko was born in 1943, and defected to the USA in 1963 or 1966.]

1946-04-25

Carter buys newspaper, decrypts incercepted Leviathan transmission



(Agent Carter 1x05)

[The League of Nations was replaced by the U.N. on April 20th, 1946.

(Agent Carter 1x05) [The League of Nations was replaced by the U.N. on April 20th, 1946. “Purchase confirmed; exchange at 0800 April 27th.”

“That’s less than two days from now.”

(Carter and Thompson, Agent Carter 1x05)

[Contradicts evidence that the SSR began pursuing Howard Stark in June 1946, and that O’Brien’s death must occur no earlier than May 1946.]

1946-05-08

Fennhoff/Ivchenko attemts to use Howard Stark to attack New York

“What day is it?”

“May 8th.”

(Carter and Thompson, Agent Carter 1x08)

[Contradicts evidence that the SSR began pursuing Howard Stark in June 1946, and that O’Brien’s death must occur no earlier than May 23rd, 1946.]

1946-05-23

Colleen O’Brien’s 24th birthday



(Agent Carter 1x02)

[That is, O’Brien’s death in Agent Carter 1x01 cannot occur before this date. Contradicts other evidence placing the the first season of Agent Carter in April–May 1946.]

[ANACHRONISM: Other obituaries seen in this 1946 newspaper include deaths from 2008 and 2009.]

1946-06-24

The SSR begins pursuing Howard Stark



(Agent Carter 1x01)

[Contradicts other evidence placing the the first season of Agent Carter in April–May 1946.]

[That is, O’Brien’s death in Agent Carter 1x01 must occur before this date.]

19xx-xx-xx

Anton Vanko defects to USA

“Anton Vanko was a Soviet physicist, who defected to the United States in 1963.”

(JARVIS, Iron Man 2)

[Contradicts the newspaper clipping Tony Stark later finds in Howard Stark’s belongings, which dates Anton Vanko’s defection to October 1966, as well as evidence from Agent Carter 1x01, which shows Anton Vanko working for Stark Industries in 1946.]

(JARVIS, Iron Man 2) [Contradicts the newspaper clipping Tony Stark later finds in Howard Stark’s belongings, which dates Anton Vanko’s defection to October 1966, as well as evidence from Agent Carter 1x01, which shows Anton Vanko working for Stark Industries in 1946.]
