Goofs
When Harry's men break out the windshield of the vehicle they commandeer, it spiderwebs into tiny shards, which shows that it is modern tempered glass. This glass didn't exist in the 1940s. The glass would have broken into large, dangerous shards.

It's also unclear why the men leave a frame of shards rather than breaking every piece out. The shards could come off as they're driving and injure them.

Episode 1.5

The soap opera elements continue in the various story strands. Journalist Nancy Campbell gets her hands dirty by helping Uwe Rossler dispose of a body of a dead fanatical Nazi.

Kasia has got comfortable luring Nazi soldiers to their deaths in Warsaw. She even pulls the trigger herself if the need arises.

Lois is charmed by Flight Lieutenant Vernon Hunter who not judgmental over her pregnancy. Her father Douglas is suffering over the fate of his son stuck in Dunkirk.

Harry Chase is also heading to the beaches of Dunkirk but he comes across some shell shocked soldiers and feels duty bound to save them.

The best scenes were of Harry, he might had come across as wet and naive in the first episode. He displayed his humanity and bravery over the shell shocked soldiers and the two Senegalese soldiers who faced constant racism.

The Dunkirk scenes were epic and is hard to believe it was filmed in Lytham St Annes. Despite the accusations of colour blind casting, writer Peter Bowker did acknowledge the racism that black soldiers faced. In this case the Senegalese soldiers stayed behind to help look after the shell shocked soldiers.
