(I know,I know--what accuracy?)
It has to be said that you could tidy up many of the inaccuracies (equipment and so on) without affecting the drama.
Indeed so -- Look at Zanuck's own "The Longest Day" where he went to great lengths for authenticity's sake. In many ways I find it a far more satisfying film than "Pvt Ryan" but perhaps that is a sign of my age.
