Hi Narukami..great posts here...I agree with you on SPR. Speilberg got the unit wrong, in deed; he should have used the 17. SS PzGd. Div "Gotz von Berlichingen" as his antagonist. for it did engage the 101st and elements of the 82nd Airborne in the days following D-Day..I guess he thought the 2. SS Pz Division "Das Reich" was "sexier, but it was busy butchering Oradour-sur-Glane and generally having a bad time moving to the invasion front when Hanks and company were doing their heroics... <p></p><i></i>
