Really good last episode and great show overall for me. No it’s not Band of Brothers or Pacific but it’s a great companion piece. The aerial combat, sheer numbers we put in the air, and effects flak and German fighters had on those men was really well done.
American air power was a huge reason we won the war. What those men that went down went through can’t be saluted enough. Brave men.
My dad’s friend went through a march with Stalag Luft IV like they did in the show although it was more brutal in reality.
My main gripe to close out, was Crosby’s affair never being acknowledged. I’m pretty sure it was fictitious and manufactured for the show. But he went home to a wife and son and his affair was never acknowledged at all. Really rubbed me the wrong way, especially if created for the show that they did him that way.

After watching the trailer for the final episode, I thought no way can they wrap this series up concisely, but they surely delivered. I’m listening to the final podcast as well! Bravo to everyone involved.
I’m going to watch that Bloody Hundredth doc tonight.

It happened. He wrote about it in his book that he wrote after his wife died. I haven’t read it yet…just picked it up from Google searches. I believe he never really knew what she did or what happened to her. I saw on Reddit she had a different name in real life and maybe there is more info about her now?
It sounds like those kind of war affairs were common on both sides of the ocean. It’s easy to find European women when a couple million of their best options have been killed.
