Whilst U571 was a distortion of history I am unsure as to whether Saving Private Ryan was to be the definitive story of the European land war.
All countries distort history, ask any Englishman who won the battle of Waterloo, but would he without the arrival of Blutcher's Prussians?
I just find it puzzling that the people on this forum, whom I assume to be intelligent, make the wildly exagerated claims that they do, especially the " you would all be speaking German if it wasn't for us", as if they rode to our rescue on their white stallions instead of having been forced into the war.
