When an army colonel starts giving orders aboard a Navy ship, AND manning anti aircraft guns, AND shooting down Luftwaffe planes, AND shooting 5 inch guns for pinpoint accurate fire support WITHOUT aiming...well there's no.point in nitpicking inaccurate historical details, is there? I also liked the scene where the 2 sergeants are having a smoke while standing over the body of their dead buddy, and the conversation turns toward comparing their fathers, and their grades in school. This while the rest of the platoon is still searching the rest of the farm for the big guns they're supposed to destroy. This movie was like a cake that never rose.
