Jour J (E02)

I think I have never seen such a high-quality and realistically shot film or TV episode about the first day of the invasion of Normandy. True, the creators could naturally focus only on small units and individuals, so they could pay much more attention to details, but even so, I have to say that I was absolutely thrilled. On the other hand, the official content of HBO Europe is a complete disaster. A swarm of planes is the third smallest combat unit. The smallest is, of course, one airplane, two airplanes surprisingly form a pair, and two pairs form a swarm (in an outdated tactic that disappeared at the beginning of World War II, swarms were formed by three airplanes). According to the author of the content, we were supposed to see four entire Dakotas. I was also intrigued by the cluster of German cannons, I really can't imagine such a tactical unit. And finally, I would be interested to know why the soldier has his face torn apart by grenade shrapnel due to machine gun fire. Great episode, poorly written content. (09/02/2019)
