Given that the characters and events are prolly a little "exaggerated" how accurate is the overall plot? I've heard opinions from scurrilous slander to dead on. I have read somewhere that at this time the movie was set in, (shortly after D day and just after the Hedgerows , I think) from 11 tto 20 thousand men were AWOL at any one time from the Allied Armies and many formed roving gangs which specialized in hijacking trains.
