Let's say for the sake of discussion, all the technical expertise and technology had already been around in 1962 to make this film's combat sequences as realistic as SPR, and you somehow get it through the era's tough sensors, and showed it in color, how do you think the audience back then would have reacted?

I think many viewers would have left the theater in horror. In 1962, WWII was fresh in the minds of most Americans, plus so many had lost loved ones.
