Fun fact: The chain home tower at Stenigot, Lincolnshire is still standing and from the top you can see bomb craters around it from the Luftwaffe's unsuccessful attempts to hit it.

      The anti-tank guns scene was very well done, and the strange truth is it never happened. The tanks destroyed during the first stage of the attack were destroyed by panzerfausts fired at point blank range by what has to be considered a suicide mission by a small group of Germans in a trench hidden next to the road. The fight escalated as the supporting infantry opened up. Also, the RAF did not come in to the save the day, the Irish Guards defeated the Germans with their tanks.

    My Dad, who is a combat vet from G-3-7 at the Chosen Res told me the beginning of Saving Private Ryan was "pretty close" to the real deal.
    He said they left out the trucks and tanks rolling over the dead and wounded bodies on the beach...good guys or bad...rolling right in and over bodies.

    The scariest part of the Stukas is that they didn't make that sound because that's just how the plane sounded. That sound was added to ensure that it struck terror into the hearts of those being attacked by them.

    I can understand the glamor of cinema but please correct me if I am wrong but once in a documentary I learned that the Luftwaffe just flew over these radar stations along the shores of GB either of sheet cockiness or they mistook them for power lines since radar had just been recently invented unaware to the germans. In any case the battle of Britain is my next best movie to the battle of the bulge.
