WI certain major movies portrayed certain things which OTL were omitted ? Such as if SAVING PRIVATE RYAN had included some scenes of African-American soldiers at Omaha Beach in possible positions like Coast Guardsmen manning the Higgins boats, supply personnel unloading stores on the beach, or the 320th Barrage Balloon Bn (the only colored combat unit landed on D-Day) setting up their equipment ? Would the public perception and appreciation of the black contribution to WWII have been significantly heightened ? Or with GLORY- WI Edward Zwick had decided to conform more closely to hist accuracy by having his 54th Massachusetts characters be more like Thomas Searles as Northern-born free blacks instead of the predominance of the freed slaves such as Trip, Rawlins and Jupiter Sharts as portrayed in the film ? How about if the cutting-room deleted scene of Shaw's parents being informed of their son's death had been included at the movie's climax after the Fort Wagner scenes ?
