As to the SS time scale, again the film is not quite clear how many days have passed between the landing and Miller being given the mission. HQ's and supply dumps seem well established, and we know that Miller has been up country in the bocage charting minefields and so on.<hr></blockquote>

I think at the start of the scene in which it is a few days after the landing you are shown what day after the landing it is...D+3 etc..i forget what it says though...it is 2 or 3 i think. That is the day he gets his mission. Then from there it is easy to count the nights they spend up until the end of the movie...which i guess is 2 or 3.
Finally they show a date on the gravemarker in the end of th movie...but i never actually tried to see if it fit corectly to the time frame of the movie...but check out what i said...i think it's there!
wow that's alot of writting for something seeming so insignificant hehe oh well whatever
