Really? Can you name an actor in that film that portrayed any of the 127 New Zealanders or 112 Canadians that participated in the battle? How about any of the 10 Irishmen?

Yes they are listed in the end credits (except for the ones you mention) but even that horrible movie U571 made mention of other nationalities in the end credits and that hasn't stopped Europeans from, rightly, complaining about its historical fabrications.

My point however is you can't blame an entire nation because some hollywood movie or dime store novel writer plays loose and fast with the facts. You might as well be advocating against free speech.
