Band of brother is indeed very acurate. There is only 1 error I was able to spot. Look after it....

Is it an historical error or an visual error.

Band of Brother is as accurate as the men who were there were willing to tell the truth on.

The 10th Armord Division under the command of Patton fought and held Bastogne before the 101st ever arrived. That fact was never mentioned. In fact the Tigers have never been given fair credit for what they did. I angers me greatly because my Grand Father was in the 10th Armord Division and won two silver stars and a couple purple hearts.

"Several units of the 10th Armored Division received the Presidential Unit Citation for their defense of Bastogne. The 10th Armored Division arrived at Bastogne on 18 December 1944, and defended the city and points east for more than 24 hours before the 101st Airborne Division arrived."

Combat Command B was called to Bastogne by General George S. Patton on 17 December 1944.

Combat Command B remained with the airborne the entire fight at Bastogne.

A bit of both. A brief tells the men about some hardware, but when you see it you know immediately it is not what it was supposed to be.
