Big deal. An all-star and primarily all-American cast captured an Enigma machine from a German U-boat that in real life knew nothing of this, despite the true events having taken place with a British crew some seven months before America even entered the war; Legolas was never in The Hobbit; and Dorothy's slippers were originally written as silver.
