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!
 
 
 

As you certainly know, Hollywood embellishes everything to make the movie
more appealing and get more butts in the seats.

This thread was originally all about the differences between Google Maps
and Apple Maps, but it quickly became all about bashing America. At least
all the haters have been exposed.
