This is currently being shown on BBC2, 1st ep no longer available on I player, ep 2 is showing for 1 more day so must watch tomorrow. Ep 3 coming soon on I player so will watch it soon.
Watched this on Blu ray recently and have to agree with the review it looked fantastic.The street scenes of Berlin looked outstanding with great detail and lush colours.The programme itself was a mixed bag with a good standard of acting but on negative side it was let down by the group of friends constantly meeting each other on the Russian front which for a story trying to explain the harsh reality of war seemed totally unrealistic.while not in the class of Das Boot or Downfall it was still interesting to see a german perspective of the horrors of WWII.
Ive just seen the first part and enjoyed it so far. Looks promising and refreshing to see the German army in a different light. I often think people mistake the German army with the Nazi's, not realising they were not necessarily the same thing.
Bit late to the party on this one - but having just watched the Blu-ray thought I'd comment on how good I thought this was. Well worth tracking this down if you like war movies.
