Except for the parts that take place in France (where Audie Murphy won the Medal of Honor during the Colmar Pocket battle).

Trying to figure out how they are going to connect the dots with the current cast based in England and and Red Tails south based around the Med.
The Pacific was three different story lines that weren't really connected. I think the three main characters either never met during the war or only met in passing.

That was by far the best episode. Raw. It was like it was written by someone else entirely

Watching it now

Fantastic episode.
I would watch a whole series about the resistance movements in axis occupied territory. Defiance and Anthropoid are the only movies I can think of that I've seen on the subject.

Maybe check out Black Book (2006), written and directed by Paul Verhoeven. A story about the Dutch resistance, it's fiction but "based on several true events and characters." It stars Carice van Houten, who some will recognize as the creepy but hot Melisandre from Game of Thrones.

For anyone interested, I’m in the middle of Harry Crosbys “A Wing and a Prayer” and it’s excellent. Really helping me appreciate the series more.

Max Manus: Man of War is great if you like this subject. It's about the Norwegian resistance and it's the best of all that have been mentioned so far.

So do we think Elvis is really a goner?

Loved the infiltrator scene, though they kind of tipped their hand the way they introduced the character.

No way. I bet next episode shows their mission and him going down. I would think he survives and either gets captured or sneaks out like the other two guys

For all the concerns of the characters not having enough depth, I do enjoy some of the nuance this show brings. We saw it with the Belgian resistance and with the Polish woman.
Did Americans want to beat the Nazis and go to great lengths to do so? Sure. But some airmen did have moral questions about how many they killed and who they killed (civilians vs military etc.). And all things considered, Americans and Germans treated each other’s POWs relatively well.
But for a Polish woman, her experience with the Nazis was total war and her people had been considered sub-human and unworthy. As far as she was concerned, kill ‘em all was her preferred policy.
Just interesting perspectives from two people who had the same enemy but maybe saw them differently.
ETA: To add to that, appreciate that they showed the results of what bombing looks like when they showed the girl being pulled from the rubble. Not sure if the show will show any German cities but it adds to what is going on in the pilot’s mind.

She was fine as hell, but the whole birthing that demon thing and morphing back into an old lady pretty much killed her vibe for me.

That Polish chick was straight fire
WW2 had to be the easiest era in history to get laid if you were in America or Europe. Millions, entire generations of young men were serving. So millions of young women weren’t getting “serviced” anymore. Talk about the perfect horny storm when baws were on leave in the city

Why was Bucky talking like that in the phone booth referencing the mission as a baseball game? Both a kindergartener and a German would be able to tell that he was talking about a bombing mission.

Keep in mind that most of the UK and France post liberation were on near starvation rations with those same men you mentioned dead, injured or serving abroad.
Enter US servicemen getting paid 2-3x what the British and French were making… well let’s just say according to what I was told from a grandfather who was over there that it was shooting fish in a barrel.

It’s not the exact scenario you described, but The Siege of Jadotville on Netflix is really good. It’s about an Irish army in the Congo Crisis conflict. But I remember it being really good.
