This rubbish flows like diarrhoea from Canada yet again. Badly stitched together dialogue and pictures. Pictures and film which are historically and factually wrong being passed off as true and having no bearing to the story being told . Incorrect pronunciation of British Military Ranks with Americans often inserted as being British. Operation Mincemeat was a British operation and the Americans had nothing to do with it, so why are the continually depicted in the show as being so. Why are so many narrators needed just to read a script and who are of no real significance for the story. Continually showing that this was an all American war does a disservice to all the 45,400 Canadian soldiers who died in the war and never acknowledged by the makers of this garbage. It seems to be all Yank and then more Yank. Something tells me that seems to be a lot of Yanking going on.
Factual content by Dr Robert Watson regarding the age of Charles Cholmondeley and Ewen Montagu as being young 20 something was partially incorrect. Yes Cholmondeley was 26 but Montagu was actually 42 and a Lt Commander and not a Lieutenant as depicted in the film. Charles Cholmondeley was a non flying Flight Lieutenant yet his uniform displayed pilot's wings but no insignia of rank on his sleeve. . Attention to detail is obviously a lacking commodity in the production of this series.
The narrator Matt Dratva needs a lesson in pronunciation of names as he gets so many wrong. Producers please explain to him that the Americans have really stuffed up the English language and what they purport to be English is an abomination. Just pure ignorance.
Great story totally destroyed by abysmal editing and narration. This is just another in the WW2 series of documentaries churned out in bulk by these Canadian producers all suffering from the same aliment......................total crap! I just got tired looking at all the anomalies in this film and wasting my time. Lost count and interest after forty mistakes.
