L'Écume de la guerre

I'll admit that the story's initial development left me somewhat disappointed. I had envisioned something quite different. However, as the narrative progressed, I became captivated by the individual stories of people often overlooked in the grand narratives of war. These were not soldiers or naval officers, but ordinary civilians risking their lives on every voyage to thwart the Nazi regime. Their heroism, seldom rewarded with medals, is a testament to their unsung bravery. I appreciate how the series sheds light on these forgotten heroes, especially those who met tragic ends (especially on tankers). The acting performances were commendable, with special praise for Henrikke Lund Olsen, whose portrayal of Magdeli was excellent. While I'm not exactly a fan of child actors, her performance stood out to me. And while I have a fondness for the RAF, I couldn't help but notice their strong bias against education. / Lesson learned: Even survival can be a tragedy. (23/04/2024)
