Completely. In fact everything past the Omaha beach scene is fantasy. Which is a shame too since there are so many good true stories that could have been told. Why make one up?

Tip-top = the best of his time, at the top of the scale, that sort of thing. heh, thats ok just wanted to know what you were referring to. :D The Tiger was good as far as armor and main weapon goes.
