The Hollywood History of the Second World War

Funny as hell, I think the scary part is that there is people out there that take what they see on the silver screen at face value. I've seen much the same happen with websites which do not accurately detail history. I've talked to people who refuse to believe that the Battleship Bismarck was a technically "old school" design compared to other modern Battleships (US North Carolina, etc) based solely on her action with HMS Hood and HMS Prince of Whales and what they read on the net....

Hollywood really needs to get their crap together, sure entertainment is important but when you use a historic event as the backdrop try to get it somewhat close to what really happend.
