Will watch for sure.Already was on German TV :P
Got very good reviews all the way.
Except for some Polish hardliners being butthurt because according to them "the Polish Resistance never ever killed any Jew or left them to die."
From what I understand, it's pretty close to reality and historical "mostly" accurate. I encourage everyone to watch it. I liked it all around very much, especially for the, at times disturbing, shown development of the main characters, one in particular.
I am really eager to watch the next part, even if some of the events are kind of predictable. Still great to watch.
They started. :P
I just said my opinion.
If the US had cared about the jews, they would have joined the war much earlier. =PCaring about != going to war for. Keep in mind that the true extent of the killings wasn't really known well at this point.
Being from the U.S, i've always wanted to watch a good WWII series and/or movie from the Axis perspective (Letters from Iwo Jima is a good example.) Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the good ol' boys in Green, but Germanic history - being of primarily Germanic ancestry myself - and the chocolate chip cookie war machine is simply fascinating. IMO, no one equaled their army quality for the first 2 or 3 years of the war. I'll check this series out for sure.
Don't take all comments too seriously though.Maybe, yes. Then again, why would they really care? Dying for frenchies or russians isn't really that appealing if they can do it for themselves. The americans gave plenty of material help for the russians and british, however. Again, being sympathetic to someone does not equal giving ones life for him.
Anyway, they could have joined far earlier. At least I guess they knew what the war was about.
... The americans gave plenty of material help for the russians and british, however...
Not gave, it was sold for hard cash.
A total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $639 billion today) worth of supplies were shipped. That represented 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S.[2] In all, $31.4 billion went to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and smaller sums to other Allies. Reverse Lend-Lease comprised services such as rent on air bases that went to the U.S., and totaled $7.8 billion; of this, $6.8 billion came from the British and the Commonwealth. The terms of the agreement provided that the material was to be used until time for their return or destruction. In practice very little equipment was returned. Supplies that arrived after the termination date were sold to Britain at a large discount for £1.075 billion using long-term loans from the United States. Canada operated a similar program called Mutual Aid that sent a loan of $1 billion and $3.4 billion in supplies and services to Britain and other Allies.[3][4] The United States did not charge for aid supplied under this legislation.
Not true.
Neither Britain nor the Soviet Union had any cash left by 1941 btw.
Yeah except Britain only fully finished paying off it's 'debt' to the US in 2006. Which is pretty ridiculous. The US near enough bankrupted some countries with their 'aid' and enjoyed getting fat and rich.What bankrupted britain was the war expenditure. And of course, the evil americans demanding at least some money paid back. Reminds me of the germanhate in Europe right now.

oh and BTW, quit talking bullshit armpit, Greeks do not hate Germans, they hate Merkel and her politic towards Greece, I like being around Germans, I see them way to often roaming the streets of Athens, and I must say they are always friendly to talk to.
Just yesterday evening I spoke with my best bud to two germans from Frankfurt under Akropolis, they bought us beers and we spoke for like an hour and we exchanged opinions on different matters.
Stop eating what the media feeds you, for real.
oh, is that so??
Greece paid the last payment to the british bank in 2001 , of loans that were given to Greece in 1821, so please spare us about how the US exploited you.
