Line 15:
* ''[[300]]'' is basically a Dramatization [[Inspired By]] the conflict it represents, and makes no secret of this. As someone aptly summed-up, "This isn't the way it happened. This is much cooler."
* ''[[The Hunt for Red October]]'' is based on the the defection in 1961 of a Soviet submarine under the command of Jonas Pleksys (1935 - 1993) a Lithuanian whose childhood was marred by World War II and the later deportation of his parents to Siberia. A graduate of the elite Leningrad Naval Academy, his defection to the west at the age of 26 while in command of a sub undergoing its first sea trials inspired the character of Marko Ramius in Tom Clancy’s famous book, whose story is set in a later period in the Cold War with more advanced vessels and technology.
* ''[[Twelve O'Clock High]]'' includes what [[The Other Wiki]] calls "a thinly disguised version of the notorious Black Thursday strike against Schweinfurt" during [[World War II]].
