[quote="Old Reliable":a68b3]yeah but there were several instances that it seemed the script was suspicious in making the germans seem lesser. the embankment assault, it seemed like the germans didnt kill any americans. it just made it look like all germans were greens[/quote:a68b3]

...those germans were caught in the open, they broke and ran, the Americans had suprise
and high ground (ie. another embankment), I didn't see too much exaggeration in the series
...so I guess it really was a "turkey shoot".

you must first consider the books author...hardly and "unbiased" historian

my favorite was in episode 6 when some guy get part of a treeburst and there are huge splinters in him, so they are bringing him to a jeep where they fall and the guy screams and Perconte goes "Ah shit, you got blood on my trousers" and the wounded man yells out "IM REAL SORRY FRANK!" biggrin:

'Got a penny?'

Although I like the complete series a lot, I think my favourite part at the moment is episode 10; Points. Both funny and dramatic.

I also read the book, written by Ambrose. Changes your view on the series and characters in soime ways. Also, events in the series are not always accurate, although they did a good job. A must-read, if you like the series.

It is Ambrose, not Amrose.

I can't stand the way Ambrose writes, it's just so boring... Now James Jones ( Thin Red Line ) is a great writer.

yeah, the book was good. And whoever said they said it made the Germans look dumb when n one got killed in episode 5 part, is wrong. It happened, in the book they said no one was killed except Dukeman at the night attack

I think he is refering to the part where the baker wouldn't give bread because they were jews and they just took the bread.
