Band of Brothers
For those who enjoy historically accurate WW2 films, I heartily recommend "Band Of Brother's".The 12 hour film covers the training and combat actions of "Easy" company, 506th P.I.R., of the 101st airborne of the U.S. Army, through the end of the war at Hitler's "Eagles Nest", Bavaria.
(Prior to going into combat for the 1st time, D-Day, they finished training at Aldbourne, and Upottery, England.)
What makes this film so special is that every soldier portrayed, actually was a real life person and their names and actions are completely accurate.
In this film you will not see any Hollywood B.S. Well worth every penny spent.

Re: Band of Brothers
I too can recommend band of brothers, if you like that try the pacific, more or less the same, but showing the brutality of war in the Pacific, and what the marines went through, it’s based on the books by eugine sledge and another ( whose name escapes me) but it’s another production by Spielberg be warned though, there are a few gory bits..
