As we all know, much of the film is based on the very real context of the Second World War.
Miller perished at Ramelle
However, it turns out that this particular battle is a fabrication, because Ramelle the town does not actually exist. Say what?

Yes – it’s fictional. However, that isn’t to say that the events that take place in the film aren’t inspired by real events.
Not a real town at all
In fact, it was inspired by a German counterattack that actually occurred over a causeway at La Fiere. Who knows why the Spielberg decided to change it…
