Largely according to Hollyweird, rather than in actual reality. There are a lot of movies about event in World War I and II were Americans supposedly saved the day, but in real history they weren't even there at all.

 This is about the dumbest thing seen in some time.  Nice work.

Here are a few examples of Hollyweird war movies that made up lies to suit themselves, but there are more.
   - "U-571" (2000)
     This is probably the worst. An American submarine crew captures
     a German Enigma machine ... WRONG! It was a British submarine
     crew that found an Enigma machine.
   - "Enemy at the Gates" (2001)
     Russian sniper Vasily Zaytsev embarks on a duel with a German
     sniper which, the film implies, changed the course of the
     Battle of Stalingrad ... except there is no proof any such
     duel ever took place.
   - "Pearl Harbour" (2001)
     Ben Affleck's US Air Force Pilot character joins the RAF Eagle
     Squadron. Yes, the RAF Eagle squadron was made of US-born pilots,
     but they were not serving US military pilots and most joined the
     RAF after going to Canada and technically being Canadians.
   - "The Great Escape" (1963)
     Portrays three Americans participating, but in the real event
     there was only one American, who later became a British citizen.
   - The Battle of the Bulge" (1965)
     This one is so bad that even Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was
     involved in the real battle, said it was falsified history!
     Among many "errors", it ignores the British forces, uses the
     wrong tanks, and omits the battle's turning point by the
     Allied air power.
   - "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1936)
     Not World War I or II, but this movie purposely moved the battle
     to a completely different war and different continent to the
     real event!
