As I'm sure others will tell you, Albert Blithe did not die of his wounds. That was something the men heard through the grapevine but Blithe actually served in the Korean War as well and died sometime in the late 50s. (If I recall correctly. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on the timing.) That major goof aside, they really did keep things remarkably accurate. Winters should have been freakin' DEAD in that first charge on Carentan. Welsh and Luz made it into the town but everyone else dove into the ditches when the gunfire started. Winters was screaming at them, kicking them, taking off his helmet to wave them forward, and never got hit until that richochet after the battle was pretty much over. The thing with Luz not throwing the grenade and therefore not killing the French family really happened, but it didn't happen to Luz. It happened later to a different paratrooper and they got the guy's permission to have Luz do the scene. (No names because he obviously survived and it's a spoiler.) It was a steady routine. Smash the window, throw the grenade, burst in to finish off the Germans. But at this one window he just couldn't do it for some reason. He kicked in the door instead and felt sick at what he almost did. Blithe's hysterical blindness happened, and yes, Winters "healed" him by just speaking to him for a moment and helping him to calm down. That was Doc Roe's first real scene, too. The medic with the Cajun accent? You'll get to know him better later on. The Spiers thing was accurate in that no one knows for sure exactly what happened. The stories about him bounced around and no one quite knew what the truth was. Except the consistent truth that Spiers was a scary badass. The thing with Welsh and McGrath firing on the tank was accurate, too, right down to McGrath yelling, "You're gonna get me killed, Lieutenant!" Oh, and trivia: the guy on the horse was Freddie Joe Farnsworth, who was one of their military consultants who bossed around all the actors in their "boot camp" before filming.
