There are countless extraordinary stories from the war years. And many stories intertwine with other stories. A person involved in creating films would have thousands upon thousands of fantastic, harrowing stories to choose from. I've read many and I just read for entertainment. A true historian could lead one to thousands. Why can't Hollywood take advantage of technology and reproduce some of them accurately? They could make very entertaining, exciting movies. They would never run out of scripts. Truth is stranger, more unpredictable, much more fascinating than any fictitious tale, specially during the incredibly events of that time. The stories lie in the individual experiences. Not so much in the epic, major campaign, major battle subject manner. In this movie, the language/slang of the time, scenario, combat events, characters, equipment, geography, are all inaccurate. It serves as a display of how ignorant Hollywood is of history that is really hardly history at all being that the war ended just 20 years before I was born.
