It would be awesome if the played the theme from Band of Brothers as the paratroopers descend on the Palace next episode!

Probably not. The
Apocalypse Now reference was in the manga, so it was probably in the novel as well. As long as the author has been working on GATE (novels starting in 2010, webnovel years before), BoB seems a little too new, and is nowhere near as iconic as
Apocalypse Now, anyway.
There's also the minor fact that the Japanese fought on the side that was
against the characters in BoB. That would be like American soldiers riding into battle playing a song from some movie the Germans made about the bombers in the London Blitz. We're all allies
now, but still...
