Madcap7 is an unknown quantity at this point
In Saving Private Ryan, it was not propaganda, but the fact that Steve S had the German soldiers fight like they didn't have a clue! I'm not going to go anyfurther than saying that it was in the 'fight scene' at the end. The Germans had four years of battle experience, even with new recruits 'old hands' would have lead the 'green' troops and taught them the 'tricks of the trade'.

And in U-571 the americans knew the gun was loaded, it shouldn't have been, there was no chance. Thge whole film sucked big time!

And it is possible to have a film that is accurate, it doesn't have to entirely accurate like 'that division didn't have those vehicles!' and it is possible to have it entertaining for the average joe as well. Its just not possible for Hollywood!
