Trivia
Several of the chapters in the game are actually modeled off of famous WWII movies and novels.
The first and most obvious one is the "D-Day" mission, modeling its missions, plot, and setting to the movie
Saving Private Ryan. Besides the entire plot and completely recreated setting, several elements are borrowed from the movie, including the hopeless abandonment on the beach, the frantic bunker gunfire, shelling, and storming the seawall.
Chapter two, "Storm in the Port" also takes its setting from
Saving Private Ryan. The first mission is a reenactment of the climax of the movie, where you must fight through the broken wreckage of a French town to help the Allies in their struggle against advancing Axis soldiers and tanks. The second part of the chapter, storming the German U-Boat pen, also models quite a bit of its scenery and costume design off of cliche German submarine movies.
It makes sense that the game would borrow heavily from
Saving Private Ryan; Steven Spielberg directed the movie, and also had a major part in the production of the game.
Another one of these chapters in the game is titled "Several Bridges Too Far". This is an homage to the WWII 1970's book and movie
A Bridge Too Far. The plot of the book and movie detailed Operation Market Garden, the failed Allied attempt to break through German lines at Arnhem in the occupied Netherlands.
In an reenactment, the chapter in the game puts you on the front lines of Operation Market Garden. The missions take you through the war-swept city of Arnhem, where you actually rendezvous with the men trapped behind enemy lines in Nazi occupied Netherlands. Throughout the chapter, you even meet most of the characters that are portrayed in the movie.
