Ambrose did do a little research, not much. But his clear lack of not listening to the members of 1st and 3rd platoon hurts the account. Also, a number of officers in easy and the 3rd battalion caught mistakes before the book was published. Members in the regimental and division staff also were talked with and much left out.
I know the stories that would make Winters look bad, but why put them out, Ambrose knew them and left them out of the book.
Everyone knew Winters was a track and field man in college, leaving out about the wire trap in the field he ran across belittled what he did that day. When he forgot to pull the ring on the grenade, it was lucky for him the German soldier forgot to pull the string on his grenade.
Still Ambrose could have done some foot work in DC and filled the holes.
But not all the WWII records are open to this date.
