I was watching this series and thought it was good. There was so much talk it was so realistic and based on true stories. Then there was the episode about the Netherlands and seeing the "hills(!) of Eindhoven" just made me laugh. The boy who brought olives to the soldiers was just ridiculous, as were the peasants traveling in a Russian carriage. Then my parents and mother-in-law (who lived through all this) pointed out all the other stupid mistakes they made. They found it offensive and couldn't watch for more then 10 minutes. With all the money they put in this series they could have put some towards research in authenticity. Maybe for the USA this war has become just a story but in Europe it is living memory.
