A while back, someone had posted about the movie “A Bridge Too Far”. It’s based on the book by the same name, written by Cornelius Ryan.
Ryan also wrote “The Longest Day” about the Normandy Invasion, which resulted in the star studded 1964 Film by the same title.
Both books are favorites of mine as are both movies.
This video examines what the film got right, as well as where they missed the mark or exaggerated some stories. It’s 38 minutes, but pretty well worth it, with good information about the film and the battle itself.

"Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen. It still is." � Wesley Pruden
