the story of the 6888th was made into a movie! But dang, though it gets into HOW they pulled off such an incredible organization, it also spends over an hour on back story, motivation, and love story

seriously, skip the 20 minutes, then after a couple minutes, jump to the 54 minute mark. 

After that they get into how they accomplished the nearly impossible task of sorting 17 million pieces of mail

But the 1st thing that jumped at me was that NO ONE paid attention to the officer pin on the hats when the women start boot camp (compare above and below)  not the actresses, costume dept, cinematographer, director, assistant director, and all the extras, grips, sound crew, etc? They didn't even catch it in the dailies!

 

I made a brief post about the story in 2022 https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/06/in-world-war-iis-there-was-one-all.html
