It is interesting to read the negative reviews all seemed to be from males. As a female, I loved the whole series. I found the use of English, instead of bad tries at German by the actors, all the more believable. I could relate to the thoughts of the people, sons, brothers, lovers, husbands, mothers, with the same sounds as my own. It was refreshing to see war presented in not the blood and guts way that American Television portrays wars. Death was sudden and silent, an innovating look at this senseless war. The actors not being well known, made their characters all the more realistic. As time distances us from the real event, and the hatred of 'the enemy' is lost in new generations, the participants of both sides of a conflict should be seen as families, losing a much love member. Maybe in the future the population of countries will be able to raise their voices loudly against politicians who sit safely at home, while good men and women are sacrificed. I have visited Gallipoli and El Alamein and shed a tear, like I did while watching "The Passing Bells"
