I took part in the filming of it, just a back ground extra with one of my ww2 military vehicles. The town scenes were filmed at hatfield bucks, it was great but to keep retaking a scene got a bit tiring .
Can't believe it was so long ago that the film was made. It was this film that led to Band of brothers..again I was involved and got to meet the real BOB veterans ..what an experience to listen to them talk of their time in europe..Live to regret ..or regret to live.

Spielberg met dick winters at a airborne reunion I the early 90's and couldn't get the funding to make anything then, hence the Ryan film to raise awareness in the subject and funds to make the series!sigpic
