| I thought the series was very well done. There were many "subliminal" messages if you wanted to look.
The sets were fantastic and the action scenes most realistic.
I do like the one scene where they were to be sent across the river for prisoners on the next night to the same place by their senior officer because the first nights infiltration was successful.
Their platoon commander told them to get a good nights sleep and he put in a false activity report for the raid that did not happen.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
