I have been massively disappointed in this which should have been right up my street. It does bring home just how tough things were for many but could have been done much better. So much so I have only been half watching it.

There are too many stories meaning no plot develops for more than a few minutes before it cuts to the next one. I also find the plots very predictable.
The relationships and the dialogue between the characters are for me unbelievable. Harry bumps into Lois in France and then in the desert. He lands in Poland and after not avoiding roads but walking along one with radio and gun into a German road block the 1st girl he meets is Kaisa.(he does a lot of bumping into those 2) Gregorz gets on Tom's boat at Dunkirk! I thought this war drove people apart not continually together in all the different theatres of war

Some of the historical inaccuracies are laughable. My favourite is the crashing Spitfire pilot being told to 'eject eject' when he would of course been told to bale out. To get something as simple as that so badly wrong makes me doubt the authenticity of the rest of it.

3 out of 5 for me.
