Maybe the stories grew in the minds of the guys telling them, or they were purposefully making things sound crazier than they were, I don't know.
From what I understand, they put together multiple stories to make it more of an action film. So it wasn't non-stop chaos, IRL there would have been uneventful or downtime along with it.

"Based on" = with luck there's maybe 5% of the original story left in the script before they even start shooting the thing. Typically there's some maybe names, places and vague scenarios left. Everything else is dramatization, starting with things like who exactly is fighting who, where, with what and in what circumstances.
I would bet basically the only thing about that last fight that was true to life was that there was a tank and some Germans
That's without taking into account how much BS there was in the original stories
