you can probably wait a few weeks for all episodes to be available and try it, that way you'll be able to skip through the most boring stuff. It's not insultingly bad, just meh.
I honestly had forgotten Das Boot was rebooted it looked like ass, but maybe I'll try it this weekend

das boot is gay, it has nothing to do with submarines and instead focuses on communist lesbians
I've watched pretty much all the decent post-war ones, I still got some to see made during the war or in the late 40s-early 50s, but aside from that, there ain't much left for me
I've watched all the truly good ones from the 60s onwards at least two or three times, and I've lost count of how many times I've watched my all-time favorites (bridge too far, tora, battle of britain, das boot, stalingrad Kelly's heroes )
I've been watching all versions of tuntematon sotilas last summer and haven't watched any since, at least until I started Masters of the air.
If you've got good recommendations, give them, generate discussion
nta but get into books or audiobooks, theres plenty of authors that focus on storytelling aspects instead of dates and numbers like james d. hornfischer that provide better illustrations of ww2 than movies or tv can
I love history in general, so of course I read books but I tend to enjoy big picture stuff more than written first hand accounts of "small scale" action
I love soldiers letters and journals, but I'm somehow more of a sucker for 19th century conflicts or WW1 for those, for some reason, I've read compilations of napoelonic era letters and a lot of WW1 ones. What I really enjoy are books which intertwine testimonies and large scale narration. I love biographies in general, but I really have a blast reading Glantz or Beevor. I've never read Hornfischer, but that looks cool, I just downloaded Neptune's inferno and The last stand of the tin can sailors, I'll start on one of them tonight

yeah both of those i see recommended all the time, neptune's infermo got me into audiobooks in general so it's probably a good litmus test. most memorable to me of his bibliography was ship of ghosts, it's about us+allied POWs working on a death railway and starts with USS Houston's capture. if you've seen films of the subject matter then it's a good chance they all depict the actual living conditions incorrectly because they are all based more or less on the 1957 movie which gets the facts wrong and doens't show the real human cost extracted by the project.

Interesting, I'll check it out
By "1957 movie", you mean bridge on the river kwai and the assorted novel I guess?
I'm a french lad who's been posting on this shithole of a website for almost 15 years and I read (or at least scroll thorugh) american newspapers everyday for my job and I wouldn't have noticed this shit
I would have noticed that he was the only one who somehow managed to jump out of a burning airplane without a bruise and a perfect brushing tho
That's like comparing a spring training game to a game 6 of the world series. GK is a comfy show but it's about zero stakes combat in the first 2 weeks of a decade long war, those Marines didn't even see real action until well after the events of the show were over.
Only Jarhead which took place in 91, has less stakes than GK
Who are they?
German resistance?
What do they have to do with women?
They wanted their show to be as fondly remembered as The Pacific, so they copied the one thing everyone loved about it.
Melbourne.

Ahh, now it's perfect.
Is it worth watching? I know its not as good as BoB, but does it stand on its own as a ww2 flick?
Meh
If you've run out of WW2 flicks, and even then
I've run out of WW2 flicks and I'm kinda bored as hell trying to watch it
It's very very dull
Alright I'll skip it then. I already have the Das Boot tv show reboot on the backlog forever, might see that one first

So overly negative and bitter, the first two episodes were meh but still enjoyable to immerse in , 3 was a 10/10 and 4 is good.
meh
You don't have to watch slop you know. You can just say no. Nobody's forcing you.

How did they know he was German?
He wrote the date as 18 August, it should have been August 18th.

Why didn't they get mommydoux to play one of the french wifeys this episode
CGI dog took all the budget sir
good morning
Helen is cute :3
is that iron cross on her neck?? is she a covert wunderwaffe operator?? did she poison coffee and donut for that poor yankee pilot??
>her smile and optimism: gone
kino episode honestly, probably the best so far
And there was no action. The only time spent in a bomber was Elvis's takeoff. What do you make of that?
The episode proved that an entire series about the resistance/downed airmen/PoWs would have been a better idea.
Official Power Rankings:
1. Downed airman's Belgian girlfriend
2. Rebel girl
3. Red Cross chick
4. Married Polish chick
5. Other rebel chick
>helenmommy that low
for shame
>5 women
haha yikes
There's a scene where they're in a dance hall and there are women everywhere. I nearly pissed my pants.
it's fine as long as they're all white and attractive and none of them talk, don't get me wrong I don't hate all women
it was the 40s there was nothing to do besides having sex with women
>Married Polish chick
Joanna Kulig, she has got nice "dojce", as we say in poland, or "cyce jak donice" even.
The Pacific>Masters of the Air>Band of Homos
Generation Kill > all

Aren't you forgetting about the oil?
