101st Airborne at Malmedy?

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2019)

I really enjoyed this movie but could never wrap my mind around why the movie's writers decided to have 2 of the main characters be from the 101st Airborne? That outfit was nowhere near the Malmedy area at the time of the shootings at the Baugnez crossroads. Trying to cash in on the name reference from the Band of Brothers miniseries? I could see placing those characters in the 2nd, 99th or perhaps even the 1st Infantry Divisions, maybe even the 106th but the 101st doesn't make any sense. A small point I guess but one that always jumps out at me.
