Hollywood has never really cared much for historical accuracy. It's business is entertainment. Those who look to Hollywood for historical facts are only fooling themselves.

Naming the 5 beaches of D-day hardly constitutes pertinent knowledge.

And I think that the five beaches at Normandy does constitute pertinent knowledge. (By the way, it was Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha and Utah.) It was a part of our history that defined a key moment, when the Anglo-American forces landed in France and committed themselves to the liberation of Western Europe. Thousands died, thousands more were wounded - their sacrifice needs to be told.
