In the Home Video Releases section, it says, "though many video enthusiasts contend that the HD DVD version features superior visual quality due to the presence of digital noise reduction on the Blu-ray release."
Is this really relevant to the topic? 67.59.61.153 (talk) 16:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
The article says that "Another inaccuracy is the portrayal of Joseph Liebgott as Jewish, when in actuality he was Roman Catholic," citing Marcus Brotherton's A Company of Heroes. However, in Winters' memoir, page 175, he says "Liebgott was Jewish and had an understandable hatred of Germans." Is he remembering it wrong? Brotherton's book is cited again on Liebgott's own page saying he was Catholic and attended Catholic school. Later in the same article, Ambrose's book is cited, quoting David Kenyon Webster who says Liebgott was Jewish. 174.89.29.173 (talk) 15:28, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Is there any particular reason why the 7th Infantry Regiment should be identified in such minute detail, when 506 PIR is only identified as assigned to 101st Airborne Division? 3rd Infantry Division, (with or without a 'US' tag for clarity) would surely be sufficient.

Is there a reliable source for the stars of the mini-series? IMDb doesn't count and the page on HBO, last I checked, doesn't have the information.--Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 00:55, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
In the description for Episode 9, we find the passage
"The sight of the victims leaves the soldiers horrified and disgusted. The German locals deny knowing anything about the camp."
I believe that the use of the link to Holocaust denial is improper; based on the description given, it sounds like the it is German civilians denying knowledge of the Holocaust, not the Holocaust itself (which is obviously different—we don't classify young children as "Holocaust deniers"). While it's generally agreed that they were lying (or, well, would be lying if they weren't fictional characters, since this is a TV show), it's not the same as Holocaust denial based on the four points given in the article—it's really closer to the Clean Wehrmacht myth, but concerns civilians rather than the Wehrmacht.
However, I have not seen Band of Brothers, and honestly don't have time to watch it (I don't even know if I have access?), so I don't know whether the sentence needs to be rewritten to accurately reflect what happens in the show, or if the link itself is improper and needs to be removed.
