What i cannot understand is the way they totally Ignore Eisenhower like he did not even exist and not to mention that the midway strategy was not FDR’s it was Admiral Nimitz who was the real hero ... Oh and they also show Douglas MacArthur leaving the Philippines on a plane when everyone knows he left on a pt boat... General Patton was an important Field commander but he was not completely responsible for the victory in Europe! What about General Bradley and also General Montgomery? who they also CONVENIENTLY omit... Very sad and disappointing overall.

They show Patton being "put back on active duty" just in time for the Battle of the Bulge. In reality, Patton led the break out from the Hedgerow country in late July/early Aug 44 and the surrounding of the Germans at Falais. He then sped across France like a rocket. Ended up in the Metz, France area by November. AND then led the Southern march into the Bulge in late December.

I also saw the Japanese ships with Aegis Phased Array radar and domed radar on the masts and one scene of a paratroop drop out of C-130s!!!
