More boring historical inaccuracies

Hey, who's the military historian consultant for THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE?

The introduction mentions the British and American armies sweeping into Germany...true...but they left out the Canadian army. I'm American but am grateful to our WWII Canadian and British allies in the European Theater of Operations. The Canadians contributed an entire army (two corps) into Field Marshal Montgomery's 21st Army Group. It's an insult to our northern Canadian brothers to have ommitted them in the movie's introduction.

The introduction should have been more accurate. The British 8th Army? That was the British military force in North Africa under then Lieutenant General Montgomery, the British 8th Army. At the time of the Ardennes campaign in December 1944, the British military presence on the continent was the British 21st Army Group, consisting of two armies, British and Canadian. The British had exhausted their manpower reserves. Still a high-quality fighting force, the British were hurting badly in quantity. The Americans were represented by the 12th Army Group under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley, consisting of two armies: the First Army under LTG Courtney Hodges and the famed Third Army, under legendary but controversial LTG George Patton, the only American general respected and feared by his German counterparts. Shortly, the Ninth Army was added to Bradley's 12th Army Group, which was smaller than the 1st or 3rd armies. Then there came the American 6th Army Group, which was smaller and of less significance south of 12th Army Group.

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THAT SCENE WITH THE HIGH-CLASS PROSTITUTE? Okay so she was a hot-looking blonde. So what? What did she have to do with the plot and the historical background? If the movie's producers wanted to titillate us they should have had her strip naked. All this scene did was slow down the pace of the movie.
