Times Saving Private Ryan Got History All Wrong

“Saving Private Ryan” is widely regarded as one of the best war films ever made. Steven Spielberg’s WWII drama about the search for a young private whose three brothers were killed in action has been praised for its story as well as its realistic portrayal of war. Private Ryan is even based on a real person.
But like all Hollywood productions, this “based on a true story” film isn’t completely real. Details were changed for the purposes of time, added drama, or simply because mistakes were made. Here are the times “Saving Private Ryan” got history all wrong.
