I've read the biography of the US footsoldier who did single handedly capture 100+ prisoners in a single action during WW1; but I regret it was so long ago now I don't remember his name.
I would imagine the rest of the film is pure fiction; it's not unlike the Stalingrad "Vassily Zaitsev" film, very loosely based on fact.
Too jingoistic and not one of Coops best, but agree it does have it's moments
