saving private ryan

[Jon Skagfeld]

Coincidence. Here in Canada that same show aired a couple of days ago.

One discrepancy pointed out was that, in the film, the American Rangers went ashore in LCVPs, the US all steel armoured Landing Craft Vehicles and Personnel.

In fact they boarded British wooden boats which only had an armoured ramp.

Also,the myth of soldiers receiving mortal wounds while they were in the water was exploded.

Pretty good background material to a story line based on the Sullivan brothers, and the US Government's policy thereto.
