The American born Wehrmacht soldier actually had worked ACROSS THE STREET from Malarkey in Oregon. They changed the story to further away because reality was too unbelievable. Also, the story of the brothers who were the basis of "Saving Private Ryan" was happening, it continues into episode 3, though you dont see it. The brother who was "Ryan" was friends with several 2/506 E Company men. Namely Skip Muck and Malarkey.

the earlier 1998 HBO movie, "When Trumpets Fade", which starred Ron Elard, and also had Dwight Yokam, Timothy Olyphant, Bobby Cannavale and several others, was a World War 2 movie set right before the Battle of the Bulge in the Hurtgen Forest, a notoriously deadly set of battles. I have always seen it as a test balloon by HBO to see they could do war movies/tv shows. Its not has polished as either Ryan or BoB, but it is a good movie nonetheless.
