It is my understanding that this DVD special feature was never intended to be a "behind the scenes" piece. Rather, it was produced for HBO's "First Look" and is primarily a series of interviews with soldiers who were actually there, with several of the cast members, and with Director Steven Spielberg. It is actually more insightful than most "behind the scenes" pieces I have seen and was originally a wonderful prelude to the film. Especially interesting are the interview segments with author and historian Steven Ambrose whose take on the dedication of the film's makers to create, not only a wonderfully rich story but an opening sequence that sets the standard for filmmakers who attempt to duplicate the true terror of war. In my opinion it is a valuable addition to the DVD release.
