First : I might be wrong, but I don't think the film explained how long dieter was in the jungle after he escaped the POW camp until the helicopter rescued him.

Second : the helicopter heroes asked dieter three questions one was what is the authenticator answer : rescue dawn, the second question and answer I didn't catch at all, and the third question, dieter answers "trout" but to what question?

I liked this film but the DJ microphone guy at the end killed the mood a bit!

From Dieter's wiki:

He was rescued after 23 days on the run, following six months of torture and imprisonment, and was the first captured U.S. airman to escape enemy captivity during the Vietnam war
