[Brit1]

Not a rant Marius3188 but telling it as it should be told.
Not only is it TV but also Hollywood...U157or was it U571 the capture by the Americans of the Enigma machine for which two of our sailors gave their lives and also how two US flyers won the Battle of Britain for us don't know the title but a couple of B.o.B vets were invited to a pre screening and left after 10mins.They had seen enough.
There again we should pay tribute to John Ford for his 'Cavalry Trilogy'...he knew their importance when he filmed them and it shows.

The absolute worst war movie of all time is "Battle of the Bulge." They filmed much of that atrocity on flat, clear, and dry terrain -- when in fact the country was mountainous, wooded, and snowy. Henry Fonda stopped the Panzers with gas cans. Horrible.

Then there was "The Rat Patrol" -- a TV series where two jeeps w/ machine guns crewed by Americans and Brits (Americans in the Eighth Army -- riiiiight) routinely wiped out Rommel. Not exactly realistic!

If Hollywood filmed Waterloo they would have Andrew Jackson coming to Wellington's assistance instead of Bluecher.

...the capture by the Americans of the Enigma machine for which two of our sailors gave their lives and also how two US flyers won the Battle of Britain for us...

We should all thank God every day that British tenacity carried the fight until we were dragged into the battle by our short-hairs.
