I don't think Hollywood would be interested in the Durham Light Infrantry who were part of the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1940 ( the first VC won by a soldier being 2nd Luitenant Annand of the DLI) or the DLI who were part of the Desert Rats which lead to them becoming Monty's favourite regiment or the DLI's action in Sicilily or their action in Italy or their action in D-Day and beyond.

Band of Brothers lasted 11 months from June 1944 to May 1945.

me granda was in the desert rats, got the medals an all! but remember hollywood only thinks the war started in 1944!
 
Exactly.

Also Hollywood do a great diservice to their Marines who fought the Japs fron 1942 until August 1945.

while not as good as BoB The Pacific was a bloody good TV series which did just that, Flags of our Fathers was a decent movie as well

Of course you aren't just as we never made any American war movies when we were making them back in the 50's and 60's
