Well said nikbear,some good points there,justifying these so called 'inconsistencies'.I totally agree about not getting everything SPOT on due to all this happening 60 odd bloody years ago,and in the heat of such a terrifying experience its no wonder some of the details may be out,or even exaggerated.
I for one can sympathize with the real veterans (both sides),and must commend the book solely for its attempt at engaging the reader,at least I was when I first read it.
