Ever wonder why so many Americans think they won WW2 alone? Hollywood spent 80 years telling them they did.
Real history rewritten as American victories:
The Great Escape - 76 men escaped. British, Commonwealth, Polish, Norwegian, Dutch. Zero Americans. Steve McQueen character fiction.
U-571 - Royal Navy captured Enigma. Zero American involvement.
Objective Burma - British campaign. Hollywood made it American and gave it to Errol Flynn. Pulled from UK cinemas in disgust.
Bridge on the River Kwai - British characters rewritten as American.
Sahara - British 8th Army’s war. Bogart takes charge.
Saving Private Ryan - British landing craft crews replaced with Americans.
Battle of the Bulge - British erased entirely. Eisenhower held a press conference to denounce it.
Heroes of Telemark - Norwegian operation. Cast Kirk Douglas.
Hollywood hijacked our history and now we’re all paying the price.
