World War Two History

[parabrave]

4 movies that you can actually say are historically factual: 1. The Longest Day, 2. Tora Tora Tora, 3. Midway and 4 The Bridge To Far. I met Maj Julian Cook, Robert Redfords Character in The Bridge too far, and asked him how Redford did and he said Spot on. Just cause there was no blood and gore, ala Saving Private Ryan, doesnt make it accurate. And the Movie Pearl Harbor was a joke.

Longest Day is a terrific movie. But The first 30 minutes of Private Ryan destroyed me. It was so much like what my grandfather described Omaha that I almost puked. Totally wigged me out.
