The story is taken from the writings and archival footage of 3 Marines. 2 wrote books and the 3rd John Basilone was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and came back to the states to push war bonds. In so far as the information was adapted from those books and from accounts of Basilone's life, it should be fairly accurate. Hanks and Spielberg are notoriously devoted to portraying WWII in vivid detail.
