Not sure about the accuracy as my grandfathers would NEVER talk about WW2 (Europe or the Aleutians) but it looked very well done and I was amazed to see that it was a Steven Spielberg film. About the only reason that I could think of that Spielberg would make a film like this is that it would make a pile of money for him.
Unlike Pearl Harbor seemed like everyone smoked in the film so at least that was accurate.
There's a
Band of Brothers special magazine on the newstands right now. Ambrose is the editor. One of Ambrose's sidekicks talks about their interview sessions with 101st vets, and how they got them to "open up" with two "outsiders".
It's not a bad little magazine, worth getting. It has a greenish-tinted photo on the cover of two geared-up paratroopers standing in front of a C-47, before loading up for Normandy.
What kind of color film did they use? I noticed that it was sort of toned down. Actually I like that color they used. And the cinematography in general was great too.
