Just read this about Saving Private Ryan. I knew Ramelle didn't exist but I didn't realise the town had been recreated in a film studio in England and was used again Band of Brothers:
Ramelle doesn’t exist
The final battle of the movie takes place in the town called Ramelle and it is the only fictional town in the movie.
All the other locations used are real and were actual the objectives during the D-Day invasion. Ramelle, that includes the river, was created from scratch in a massive a studio in England, which was later used and expanded during the filming of the HBO hit series “Band of Brothers”.
