The Longest Day
 

For all you history buffs:
What parts of the Longest Day are historically accurate?

Id say the fact that there were Germans and Americans, and that d-day was june 6. I mean, look at the part where the guy is shot because he thinks he hears the cricket, when its really the bolt of a K98. No rifle is supposed to be that loud, or it will really give your position away. But hey, its more historically accurate than SPR oOo:

Are the places they attacked, like the city names, correct?

yup

which countires particapated in the invasion? Great Britian, America, Canada, France(free french forces)...was there anyone else?

the battles (places, people, what went down, etc) are accurate, certain individuals' actions are not (as someone mentioned with the cricket, the thing where the krauts say "bitte bitte" and the Ranger guns them, etc.)

and the G.I.'s walking past that whole group of Germans, theyd be dead in one second
