"Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" is one of the greatest war films ever made, capturing the sheer horror and brutality of combat. The film is famous for its realism, but how much of this epic drama is truly accurate? Was there a real Private Ryan? Uncover the real story behind this Hollywood blockbuster as we conduct tests with weapons experts and gain insights from war historians. Then hear the moving testimony of soldiers who landed at Normandy and meet the families whose tragic stories inspired the film" YouTube link Amicalement Armand

Not quite what I expected. Interesting, but find it ironic that there are multiple technical or detail errors in testing that nit-picks technical and detail errors in the movie.

Nylan I think his name was. There was also a battle at that bridge. (Name escapes me. Ramelle?) The extraction was not so dramatic. They knew basically where he was. They went in. They handed him his orders. They left…with Pvt (was he just Pvt?) Nylan. That's off the top of my head!
