Band of Brothers may be one of the most historically accurate World War II depictions, but even it gets some things wrong.
The Big Picture The epic miniseries Band of Brothers is among the best World War II projects of all time, based on the book of the same name by Stephen E. Ambrose. It follows the soldiers of E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division from their start in 1942 up to the end of World War II.
Another story that wasn't fleshed out completely is that of "Anna" , a Black nurse from Congo. "Anna" is actually a Belgian nurse by the name of Augusta Chiwy, who was awarded the Civilian Award for Humanitarian Service for her "selfless service and bravery." She saved countless lives, despite an American regulation stipulating that Black nurses could not treat white soldiers .
While Blithe's story in the series has a reasonable excuse for being inaccurate, the second story is straight-up character assassination. In Episode 7, "The Breaking Point," First Lieutenant Norman Dike, the new company commander, doesn't appear at the front very often, preferring to take walks or make phone calls. But during the assault on Foy, Belgium, Dike panics, freezes up, and because of his indecision and poor leadership, several of his men are killed.
