You took the Albert Blythe thing from me!
I was thinking of that when I started reading this thread. He also won quit a few awards including (if I remember correctly) the silver star. I felt they kind of made him out to be a bit of a cowardly person.
As far as Battle of the Bulge, I love/hate that movie. Me and a friend must have watched that thing a dozen times one year. It was our favorite war movie.
As I got older I realized the inaccuracies, and it really bugged me. Now I just take it for what it is and enjoy it.
I read that Eisenhower publicly condemned the movie for it's iaccurate portrayel of the Battle of the Bulge, and would have nothing to do with it.
I really dug the camo paint jobs on the US tanks, jeeps, bazookas, canteens...well maybe not the canteens, but you know what I mean
Here's a Longest Day goof for ya: When the troops are going over the side of the ships into the landing craft, you can see a few black troops in the landing craft in combat gear. No desegregated units yet...
