I agree. I think Speilberg just wanted to show the American's and particularly The Greatest Generation (of which my father was part in the 43rd Infanty Division 1/172nd Infantry Regiment in the Pacific with Big Mac) as totally good and show the German's as totally bad. What bothered me was that it was made to look "realistic", and some folks might assume it is the truth.
On a side note, one thing that I had never heard of until I moved to California was how 100 million Chinese were murdered by the Japanese. 100 Million people, yet very few folks in America are even aware it happened.
