Of course it is a good war TV series, showing the most accurate vision of war and its tragedy, especially from the human point of view. We can't deny that. The only thing I regret is that the enemy - Germans - are ALWAYS shown as the "bad guys" and sometimes idiots.....Always the same clichés....Does that mean the US soldiers won over idiots? Where is the glory to triumph over an idiot? Germans were the enemies, yes, of course, but that doesn't mean they were necessarily the "bad guys", despite the fact that they fought for a criminal regime which wiped Europe out, for four years, I agree. But here I speak of the troops, the soldiers, not the ideology. On the front, you have no good vs bad guys, never, only winners and losers. Period. Every one fights to survive, to defend his brother of arms, to kill the enemy; so please forget this idiocy to always show the Germans as a bunch of jerks. THEY WERE NOT; If there had not been the Russian army to fight against the two third of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front, the German army would have never let the US troops get further than the Beach hotel in Normandy. Believe me. Germans had not planes to cover them in France, in 1944. No planes at all !!!! Germans fought like lions. And if I had to choose between being in the place of the GI landing at Omaha in the first wave of assault, or being in the place of the German soldier waiting in his beach bunker for this first wave, I don't know which place I would prefer? And you?
