But you know, what it comes down to for me is, with all the tripe bounded and propaganda aggrandizemed WWII flicks out there, made to sell War Bonds, and the like.....something, ANYTHING, that comes this close to realism is OK in my books. Yes, one can prattle on about how "that's not a real Tiger' or "they wouldn't have said that" or "that's not the way they stretched a condom on the end of their Garands", but well, they're simply missing the point in my estimation: I don't have enough fingers to count on, to depict the number of people I've had express to me that the mini-series moved them in one aspect or another; to even make a few of them get off their inane blackberry's and read an honest to goodness book! I've heard MANY folks criticize Ambrose, but the man turned a lot of foks onto many battles and players in WWII history, flawed or not, and that's a good thing no matter how you slice it. Lightenup, folks.
