• According to the historian, 'Dunkirk' nailed the harrowing evacuation but underplayed the heroism of civilian boat owners who rescued over 300,000 stranded soldiers.
• The historian praised 'Saving Private Ryan' for its gritty depiction of D-Day, but noted the film took creative liberties in its squad's mission, which was far less dramatic in reality.
