No doubt involving a complete rewrite of history to show the murricans as the sole participants and sole winners of the War...

Again.

Boy you must be fun at parties. So it is too hard to imagine that an American production, focusing on an American unit would focus on the on the Americans? Band of Brothers, Pacific, Memphis Belle, Saving private Ryan, and even the stinkers like Pearl Harbor and Red Tails etc. were unit focused movies, so naturally focused on the American side of the story- but all seem to include the allies where appropriate.


I would not expect a movie focused on USAAF daylight raids to spend much time on Spitfire and Lancaster units nor the Russian front.


Nor would I complain that Dam Busters was too UK focused.


So while there does seem to be a bias for more American production to focus on American involvement in the war, that may be more due to demand and interest- not a attempt to rewrite history. Interested to hear which films/shows you see as attempts to re-write history...
