It was on TCM the during the memorial day weekend marathon. I saw the movie, its....lets just say....not very realistic. A bunch of US paratroopers raid a Japanese radar station, blow it up, kill what seems like over 100 enemy soldiers and escape to their pick up point. The planes cant land due to enemy soldiers in the vicinity, so they leave without picking them up, however using the radio, the paratroopers keep in touch with their base and have supplies dropped to them in the middle of the burmese jungle
Realistic? I dont think so....
DID it happen? I dont really know...
the movie ended with the remaining paratroopers reaching their objective point and rendevous (sp?) with the allies main invading force headed to Burma....
I dont thnk its AH...the allies did fight in Burma, but it was mainly British/Indian troops, I was unaware of large amounts of American forces there.
