World War II Historian James Holland breaks down one tank scene from HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and points out the major inaccuracy in it.
One scene involving a tank in HBO's Band of Brothers features some wild inaccuracies, according to World War II historian James Holland. Released in 2001 and based on a book by Stephen Ambrose, which is itself based on first-hand accounts, Band of Brothers chronicles the journey of members of Easy Company, the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
“Yeah, so that’s just nonsense. There is not a single British tank commander I’ve ever come across who would ever say, ‘Our orders are to not fire unnecessarily.’ The absolute mantra of British tank men was to fire and fire and fire and keep firing. "It is something that American writers just simply cannot resist. They have to be gung-ho, macho, square-jawed, with great teeth, and the British have to talk like this and say, ‘Well, I’m sorry old fruit, I can’t do that because I’m about to have my tea.’ And it’s just so annoying because British people weren’t like that. They were just like Americans.
