[MV] Saving Private Ryan without the SS

So how good would Saving Private Ryan have been as an historically pretty
accurate film if there existed no German gear (even repro stuff), no German
vehicles, nobody knew German tactics or even what the hell their uniforms
looked like. Re-enactors serve a similar historical purpose, but not in
Hollywood for cash, they do it of their own hearts and money.

I have friends in France, Germany and other countries in Europe. I try but
can not imagine the terrors and horrors they have seen. Maybe educating the
General public about history as accurately as we can is the best way to
preserve the truth and not let time diminish it into less than what it was.
I hope that if I am wrong about this that my European friends will forgive
me, for they are really nice people.
