Goofs
The captured SS officer's uniform is the famous black uniform worn by the SS in the 1930s. These uniforms were discontinued in 1939 before the war began and the SS switched to field gray like the Heer (Army). The British soldiers refer to him as "Hauptsturmführer" (captain) and his rank is that of an Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel). This is addressed when the SS officer is first captured. One of the men say he's probably upset about not being called by his correct rank.

Do Not Waste 90 Minutes.

Appalling. Amateur. Aggravating.

I have an historical interest and basic understanding of D-Day and it's era. I was therefore genuinely amazed after checking several 'reasonable' reviews, before deciding to endure this travesty.

Such a disappointing interpretation of a good WW2 story, at every level.

A missed opportunity. Cringeworthy.
