Kellys Heroes is a work of fiction. A real event such as this--never happened.

Where Eagles Dare--is a work of fiction. Ditto.

Von Ryans Express--is a work of fiction.

Hell is For Heroes--is a work of fiction.

The Enemy Below is a work of fiction.

The Password is Courage and was a work of fiction--parts actually did happen. Sergeant Major Coward, was a real Sergeant in the Artillery branch of the British Military.

Flight of the White Stallions--is a work of fiction--and parts of it really did happen, ala General Georgs S.Patton Jrs famous rescue of the Lippezaner Stallions. This was done with the efforts of a German Officer named Podyski (Sp?)

Bridge on the River Kwai, is a work of fiction--and something not so similar actually happened.

Decision Before Dawn--is a work of fiction and much of it actually happened.

These are ALL classic war movies and nobody is complaining about anything in them--yet--look at U 571--its a work of total fiction--why complain? it wasnt meant to be historically accurate--if it were--it would have been a British movie.
