Great mini series , fell sad about greta being shot, it was great acting . no phoney stuff.. it was great . this movie should have won academy award .i just wish it was in English . I got lost in this movie, un-like the hot tub time machine, now there is a movie . I watch all 3 of them today and was glued to my computer the whole time. I am glad no commercials it would have ruined it. Great acting , very realistic

Frome the cast, to the story, to the breathtaking acting. This movie/show has changed my whole perspective of the war. Including the fact that this was based of a true story i am more deeply in love with this film.
