This movie targets the majority of the consumers, the ppl who expect entertainment, nothing else. They don't want to know any details.
The fact the Americans(they had the p51, remember) won is all the want - and need to know.
2 hrs full of high quality boom, drama(+potentially sex) and as many dead nazis you can potentially put in, et voilà; blockbusters.

Was Indiana Jones historically correct? No, but it worked.
What about U571? Again, it was all BS once more, yet it did ok.
