Yes I saw it,and found it very intetresting.The only part that made me smile a bit was when the German infantry were retreating through the Ardennes and Sean Bean said they were fighting as if their lives depended on it!!!!-DUHHH! One really interesting fact though,I was always told that the expression "The Iron Curtain will fall across Europe" was Winston Churchills,but no,it was Goerbels months before.It just goes to show whose foresight was better.

Hi yer it was a good . But as a former member of a living history group . I did notice the US soldiers were carrying British Lee Enfields not the M1 Garand , in parts . But over all it was worth watching and I think I will get the box set eventually.
