Tom Hanks doet inderdaad mee in enkele scene's, volgens mij was hij ook de gene die de Duitse krijgsgevangen dood schiet in een van de laatste delen.
Maar dit kan ik niet met zekerheid zeggen, hij leek in ieder geval veel op hem.

Ja daarom is dat deel ook verzonnenStefan schreef: Wel een beetje raar,omdan het leven van 7 man op het spel te zetten,voor 1 man.
, er is nooit een verkenningseenheid achter de vijandelijke linies gestuurd om daar een soldaat op te halen... in ieder geval niet bij de gebroeders Niland, de familie waar SPR op gebaseerd is... Volgens mij was het zo dat 'de laatst' overgebleven Niland het bericht kreeg (van zijn commandant o.i.d) zich bij Utah beach te melden om van daaruit naar Engeland en daarna de VS te gaan. Later werd in een hospitaal ontdekt dat er nog een broer in leven was, weet niet of hij ook naar de VS werd teruggestuurd... Volgens mij is dat het verhaal van de Niland's... correct me if I'm wrong

Frederick'Fritz'Niland of Tonawanda, NY was a Sgt in H/501 PIR. He was misdropped below Carentan on D-Day, but fought his way back to the 501 with his buddy Jack Breier. Although virtually every writer who tells the Niland family story manages to gaff-up the details, the basic facts are these; all three of Fritz's brothers, who were on active duty with the U.S. military, became casualties in less than three weeks. Oldest brother Eddie was on an Air Corps bomber, which was shot down in the C.B.I. on 16 May, 1944. His mother, Augusta, received the MIA telegram about Eddie on 8 June, 1944. Her other three sons were all participating in the Normandy invasion with the Army.
Robert, a.k.a. "Bob The Beast" Niland jumped near St Mere Eglise with D/505PIR, 82nd Airborne. Bob was killed in heavy fighting at Neuville au Plain on June 6th. Brother Preston was a lieutenant in the 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Division, and landed on Utah Beach. On 7 June, 1944, he was also killed in the area NW of Utah Beach. When Fritz returned from his misdrop circa 11 June, he rejoined H/501 and was decorated for grenading a German m.g nest at Hill 30 on 12 June. After learning that Fritz was probably the sole surviving son in his family, Fr. Francis Sampson, Catholic Chaplain of the 501, started paperwork to have Fritz sent back to safer duty in the U.S. The paperwork took quite a while to go through, and didn't come back approved until the end of the summer.
Fritz was NOT pulled out of the front lines. Fritz remained in Normandy with the 501 until they sailed back to England on an LST. Fritz remained with H/501 through the summer of 1944, suiting-up for two missions which were canceled, before the orders came through for him to return to the Zone of Interior. Fritz protested the order-he wanted to return to battle and avenge his lost brothers. Against his objections, he was overruled and sent back for M.P. duty in N.Y. state until the war ended.
One of his brothers did survive-Eddie returned from his MIA status many months later, having been in a Japanese P.O.W. camp. Mrs Niland did NOT receive three telegrams in one day regarding the loss of her sons. Also two, not three of Fritz's brothers were in fact killed in action. The story of the Nilands wound-up in two of Ambrose's books, and Hollywood screenwriters used the basic scenario of a 101st paratrooper who had lost three brothers as the starting premise for the screenplay of 'Saving Private Ryan'.
After returning home from WW2, Fritz Niland did not "cure some disease, or invent a longer lasting lightbulb"-instead, he became an oral surgeon and innovated new techniques in that field, which is more than the average man will ever do. According to Cate, Fritz was a compassionate man, who hated to see people in pain. That drove him to pursue dental work, as a means of helping aleviate much suffering. Fritz Niland passed away in the early 1980's.
