My concern is "Based on true events" has lost its meaning. Writers and directors seem to use it as a gimmick to make a "Historical" movie and then use artistic license to butcher the real story. In 1942 the Americans never raided Kassel. In fact out of 20 raids. 1 was by the Americans. In B-24's. In 1944.
This string of "War Movies" that are coming out (Starting with red tails) would benefit a huge amount by a tiny tiny amount of fact checking. If they wanted a "High Profile" target to use for the movie they could have used Dresden. Almost identical results, but it was done by the 8th.

I spoke to a B-17 pilot when I visited the United States of Awesomeness back in 2009 and talked long about the Dresden raid (not only because I live 30 km western of the most beautiful capital except Prague.
Miniseries... Mhm - something like Band Of Brothers and The Pacific then. And Game Of Thrones of course. ;D
