Started watching this episode and in my opinon this has now gone down hill to absurd
multiple captured US aircrew taken into a bombed german town and then killed by civilian mob . Just to be clear that the devastation is not the Americans fault it's stated that this was RAF damage. (as if this somehow makes the Americans innocents)
This did happen on both sides but , when aircrew bail out into the population, but, (I suggest) not when they had been captured by the authories, particularly with high ranking air crew prisoner e.g. A Major - They go for interrogation .
The German mob proves incompetent and 2 of the 6 men are left unknowingly alive. Surprisingly the bodies are then taken out into the countryside on a cart, so lazy writing allows one of them to escape . WTF
(Afternote: I have since discovered the 'Rüsselsheim massacre' which is what the scenario is based on. So is based on a real event)
Never the less, this series is a poor relation to the classic band of brothers and war in the pacific which were totally factul accounts.
This series is largely fictional CGI dross, with cardboard caricatures (particularly of the British) It is not worth any further of my time. Deeply dissappointed.
