The scene in which SSgt. Eddie (real name Charles) Dohun (James Caan) forces the doctor (Arthur Hill) to see to his captain happened substantially as depicted. The wife of the captain whose life had been saved related the story by letter to author Cornelius Ryan. Dohun however was under arrest for a full minute before being released. The custody period was precisely timed on the arresting officer's wristwatch.
