Re: The most historically incorrect movies/books.

...in regards to Speilberg.......

He is an excellent film-maker..him and Tom Hanks did a wonderful job on "Band of Brothers".
But at the start of the project, he stated that no expense would be spared in "getting it right".
With that said.....there are several things that he could have gotten right. I understand that you have to build it to entertain, and some little artistic license is to be expected. The one thing that really "irked me" had nothing to do with the movie itself. At the end of Chapter 3 "Carentan" when they were posting info it stated the "Albert Blythe never recovered from his wounds"

The fact is that not only did he recover, but he stayed in the Army, fought in Korea, and died in 1968 while on active duty as a Master Sgt.
