我正在看我最愛的第三集,突然想到一個問題 ...想問一下看過原著小說的軍友們; 那就是在小說裡有沒有交代史畢爾是不是真的在d-day那天槍殺俘虜勒?
這個橋段應該是很多人都有興趣的情節, 網路上可以找出很多類似的討論,
其中我覺得可性度比較高的, 是一位叫做Mark Brando的軍史考證作者,
他在訪問許多當事人後, 對Speirs槍殺戰俘持相當保留態度
以下小弟以英中對照方式摘要翻譯, 文筆不佳請見諒..

第一段: 關於Malarkey巧遇德裔美籍戰俘
The scene where Don Malarkey meets the German PW from Oregon did happen on D-Day although it isn't mentioned in Ambrose's book. The screenwriters learned of it from talking to Don and decided to put it in the film. But it had to be married to a more dramatic event to be allowed in, so it was made part of the scene in which Lt Speirs offers cigarettes to the same group of prisoners before gunning them down. Don actually went to school in Eugene OR and told the writers the PW was from Portland, but somehow, it got changed to where the PW was from Eugene. He was not in a group which was shot after surrendering. Lumping the Malarkey story to the Speirs cigarette incident brought home the impact of the killings by making them more personal to the viewer.
- 關於Malarkey巧遇來自美國同鄉的德軍戰俘那段戲, 原著雖沒有提到, 但的確在D-Day當天發生
- BoB的編劇從Malarkey口中瞭解這段插曲後, 將之改編搬上螢幕
- 為了讓這段插曲更戲劇化, BoB的編劇加入了Speirs賞煙隨後處決的情節
- 實際上, 該名來自美國Portland的德軍戰俘, 當天並沒有被槍決

第二段: 關於Speirs賞煙事件
At any rate, of all the stories attributed to Lt Speirs the cigarette one is the most apocryphal, as I've never found an eyewitness to the event. Malarkey says he heard a Tommygun firing in the rear on the day of the attack on Carentan, shortly before the attack commenced. He was told that the sound was Speirs shooting PWs after giving them cigarettes. Dick Winters told me the story in 1989, but he had heard it happened at Bastogne. Neither of them witnessed the incident, nor did Lt Gibson, who first related the tale to Ambrose. Art DiMarzio, a Dog Company trooper who always accompanied Lt Speirs on patrols also had no knowledge of the cigarette incident, although he did witness other similar incidents. So, it is debatable whether this actually happened. BTW, Winters emphasized to me that he took a very dim view of prisoner shooting, that it was not a common mode of behavior in the 506th and that he felt ashamed of any such incidents which might have happened.
- (本文作者)於與當事人的訪談中, 沒有發現任何人曾目擊Spiers的賞煙處決事件
- Malarkey表示他曾在Carentan戰役進攻發起前不久, 聽到後方傳來輕機槍(Tommygun)掃射的聲音.. 後來他被告知, 那槍聲是Spiers先給戰俘抽菸後再掃射幹掉的槍聲
- Winters也在1989年時告訴本文作者曾聽聞類似的事件, 不過事發地點是在Bastogne.
- 不論Malarkey或是Winters都沒有親眼目睹此一事件, 連最早將這個事件告訴Ambrose(61C按: BoB原著作者)的Gibson也未曾目睹
- Winters抱持高度懷疑態度看待類似的槍決戰俘事件, 因為這不是506團慣常的戰俘處理規範
